Officials Press State On Flood Project Funds Mayors Seek City Help
Mayors Bowman and Sydney A. Rapp asked the State Water Resources Commission in Hartford to add funds for Danbury flood and erosion control to the 1953 budget requests. They seek a city allowance to cover part of the Still River project from White to Triangle streets, noting other towns also seek assistance. Commission Director William Wise showed openness, but officials expect a comprehensive review to fit the budget. Rapp said the first bid portion of the 1.6 million Still River plan will go out by February end, as city and town officials advance Phase 1 urban renewal downtown. The plan includes widening the river bed, retaining walls, and relocating items north of White Street to Rose Street, plus four bridges at White Main Crosby and Rose streets. Work begins with the Still River segment from Main Street Bridge northeast toward White Street.
