Elfin Lake Public Beach

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Elfin Lake public beach will open for the season on Saturday, June 13th.
Visitors will see the beautiful stone path, rock wall, rain gardens and shoreline plantings completed last fall as part of a grant funded erosion reduction project.
We are asking visitors to please not disturb the new plantings both in the rain gardens and by the shore to give them a chance to mature. Kayakers and paddle boarders, please avoid the plantings when launching from the shore.
Much appreciated.

State Highway Bridge Project:

  • WALLINGFORD BF 0133(18) – VT Route 155, Bridge 15 over Mill River

The selected scope is a permanent closure of Bridge 15, with the option of constructing a new pedestrian bridge should the Town of Wallingford wish to maintain a pedestrian connection between Village Street and VT-103.

The intent of the meeting is to provide an overview of this project to Town Officials, local residents and businesses, emergency services and other interested parties. There will be a review of the existing site conditions, proposed work, and overall schedule followed by a question-and-answer period.  Representatives from both VTrans and the Town of Wallingford will be available at the meeting to address public concerns about the project.

Recycle Cardboard

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Transfer station employees would like to remind Wallingford residents Zero Sort can only accept cardboard 36 inches or less. Larger than 36 inches clogs up the unit. Transfer station employees would appreciate it if residents cut down cardboard to the appropriate size before you arrive at the facility as it will help operations flow smoothly and employees are not given that task.

Your cooperation  is very much appreciated.
