Ask the Mayor: Spring 2026 | Wallingford, CT

Town Accelerates Road Paving with Additional Funding Amidst Infrastructure Improvements
The town is currently in its paving season, with infrastructure improvements occurring on Fair Street, North Farms Road, and the Doolittle parking lot. Mayor Cervone supports being more aggressive in addressing aging roads and notes that the council approved an additional $300,000 plus from the electric division pilot fund for the road paving budget this season, likely adding another mile of paved road. He explained that older, cracked roads become more vulnerable to winter damage, referencing the challenging past winter with significant snow and ice that exacerbated road conditions [cite: 250-289].
Mayor Expresses Concerns Over 2026 Budget's Reliance on Reserve Funds
Mayor Cervone discussed the 2026 municipal budget, noting that while the council aimed to reduce taxes, this was achieved by increasing reliance on the unallocated reserve fund, which is typically reserved for emergencies. He also pointed out the addition of seven positions in fire and building departments not included in his initial proposal. While the budget serves the current year, the mayor expressed concern about the potential impact on future years due to the reliance on one-time money for recurring expenses and the resulting potential deficit [cite: 13, 26-29, 34-43, 45-54, 61-75].
Wallingford 250 Celebration Deemed a Success; Downtown Improvements Underway
The Wallingford 250 celebration, marking America's 250th anniversary, was a significant success, featuring a variety of events including a movie screening, a parade, a shop, sip, stroll, car show, and family day. The success is attributed to a dedicated committee led by Liz Landau and Roz, along with contributions from town departments like Park and Recreation and organizations such as the Quinnipiac Chamber and Gaylord. A special event was a downtown walking tour for the Memory Stones, part of Juneteenth commemorations. Mayor Cervone rode an electric bicycle as parade marshal, a unique feature that garnered social media attention. Artwork was unveiled in Simpson Court, dedicated to Ernie Fatini and Mark Jenrris, funded in part by a grant from Liberty Bank. Future downtown improvements include bike racks, enhancements to a parking lot between Meadow Street and William Street involving drainage, landscaping, and new pavement, with hopes of incentivizing building owners to improve rear facades. Discussions are ongoing for a potential tenant in the old police station, with a long-term plan for expansion of town hall or community use of the building.
