 In a follow-up, Newtown's Board of Selectmen ended with a vote to discontinue Reservoir Road. The measure passed last night 3-1, and the controversy over the issue stems from residents' concern that the road discontinuance disrupts part of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Trail. The first selectman says the developer wants to build a 117-home cluster, but the work would not impact the protected land and historic site that dates back to the days of George Washington.
