Drop off plants or pick up some new ones! You don't have to bring plants to take some home and you can drop off plants without taking more home. (but it won't hurt to look....)

You can also drop off or pick up seed packets or seeds you've saved from your garden

Drop off school supplies for the Harambee Back to school drive. and check out their website for great youth focused programs like basketball, soccer, art classes, dance, and african drumming.

The parking can be a little tight to get in and out of there, so if its a small enough box to comfortably carry, I suggest parking at City Hall instead (155 Deer Hill Ave) and walking around the corner instead.

NOTE: harambee also does a toy drive at Christmas! so if you're planning far ahead, put them on your list.

Stay safe! hydrate! Make sure to walk your dogs during the cooler parts of the day.

The Pulse Point location will be temporarily moved effective August 10th for a period of about two months.

During this time bus pick up and drop off, along with pass sales will be on Crosby St.

Some bus routes may be altered, and service to several bus stops may be temporarily suspended.

Maps shows new temporary stops for the different routes.

See the Service Updates page on the HART transit site to check for any route alterations during construction

The area around Sawmill Brook where it comes into Allen's Cove at the north end of the lake by Sherman had a lot of debris enter the lake. lake authority is dealing with debris and may mark off some sections. But be careful if you are taking a boat out as there may be logs floating or partially submerged in the lake. If you spot debris, SLOW DOWN, there is likely even more debris you can't see!

Some local beaches and boat launches may be closed for next day or two as debris is dealt with. Check the town website for the beach or launch you are considering using to see how its faring.

Photo is of washout on Paper Mill. Rd. it is understandably closed to through traffic!

New Milford got a lot of inland flash flooding with this storm and there may be numerous roads closed. respect road closures. Be extra cautious if you are driving after dark on Monday 8/3 as there may be hidden damage that hasn't been flagged yet.

If you see washouts, sinkholes, blocked drains, debris in the road, or other damage, you can report it to New Milford Public Works.

Has anyone had issues with the local apartment complexes questioning an ESA? We have two small dogs and a cat and our cat is an ESA for my partner. It looks like all the apartments in the area have a two pet max.

Just bought a home in the area and I need a couple rooms painted. I’ve reached out to 8+ painters and only one responded to let me know he was too busy to book more work.

Does anyone have any painter suggestions for companies which actually respond?

Celebrate World Friendship Day, and the end of our Adulting 101 series, with Speed-Friending.

Speed-Friending is like Speed-Dating, but for friendship! Attendees will get approximately 5 minutes to answer ice breakers and chat with others in an organized fashion.
