“This is a Mayor James Della Volpe with a Code Red alert from the City of Ansonia. The process of opening a lane of travel on all city roads has been completed.”
We are now beginning the process of widening the roadways. As streets are widened, your driveways may become partially blocked. We apologize in advance but this is a necessary part of our snow clearing efforts.
The City of Ansonia has hired multiple private contractors to assist your road crews with snow removal. We ask for residents to be patient and understanding of the task being performed by your road crews.
Additionally, residents should be very cautious about walking in the narrowed roadways. We are asking for assistance from residents in helping to clear sidewalks in front of your residences and businesses, especially in areas of known bus stops, so that we can begin to return to a normal schedule.
