Listening sessions are planned in Brookfield and New Milford today about the Western Connecticut Council of Governments' Long-Range Transportation Plan.  Each region must prepare a plan every four years, as prerequisite for federal transportation funding.  The plan serves as a guide for developing a system that is accessible, safe, and reliable, thereby contributing to a higher quality of life for the region’s residents. The Listening Session in Brookfield is from noon to 1pm at the Brookfield Library Community Room.  The one in New Milford is from 2 to 3pm at New Milford Town Hall's Upper Level Conference Room.
