Stratford Mosquito Fight Spurs New Airport Plan
Stratford residents welcome a Ridgeport Airport Incorporated plan to ease the mosquito problem by constructing a new airport at the heart of salt meadow land, with HiLpoLt fence and drainage work to reduce breeding. Col Delacour notes potential use of waste motor to kill mosquitoes, while pooling may linger near the airport during construction. Councilman Storehouse questions seaplane basin approval, but no reconsideration by voters at a Tuesday meeting. Nearby incidents include John Sye’s arrest for multiple MVJ violations after a Boston Avenue crash, and a boy injured running into a vehicle on North Parade. A separate report notes Wendell Witalle’s sighting of a pedestrian collision on Malin Street.
