Sikorsky Memorial Airport (KBDR), Bridgeport, Connecticut
STRATFORD
- Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch will appeal a judge's decision that the
city should not have built a new road near Sikorsky Airport on
city-owned property in Stratford.
State Superior Court Judge Dale
Radcliffe ruled that the city did not have to build a new gravel road,
and that the taxpayers of Bridgeport did not have to pay $400,000 for
it. Some taxpayers say building the road was a waste of their money.
The
access road runs from three homes through Bridgeport's Sikorsky Airport
to Sniffin Lane, and it replaces an old dirt road. Although it is a
public road, at the entrance of it there are signs saying "airport
property" and "no trespassing," and the road leads into the driveways of
the three homes that benefit it.
Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch
says the city did the right thing paying for the new road because it
makes the airport safer than it was before. However, he says a small
portion of the plan was mishandled, and he suspended the airport manager
who supervised the project.
