MY TAKE – Meriden’s efforts regarding their transit-oriented district.

The Burdelski foresees “real milestones” in 5-10 years for downtown Meriden’s transit-oriented quest article was recently published in the Record Journal.  

The Wallingford link to this is the fact that Meriden is deeply into this and Wallingford is not.

It is more likely than not we will be looking back twenty years from now at this point in time and saying "this was the point in time when the pendulum fully began swinging" where Wallingford began to fully be left behind.

My opinion.

We'll know in the fullness of time.

And I hope I am wrong.
