New Milford residents have voted to keep a portion of Great Brook Road public. A partial discontinuance was voted down during a Town Meeting on Monday. The lower section of the road would have been turned private, split between two bordering property owners. The proposal was made by Public Works and planning because the roadway is impassable and hasn’t been maintained by the town. They called it a liability. Those opposed to the discontinuance were concerned that it would open the area to development.
