I hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful days

of summer before they are all gone. Some things

to do might include a joyride on the Connecticut

Fast Track to visit new sites or to visit a friend.

Exploration isn’t the only exciting thing taking

place this summer. Many of our properties have

seen improvements since spring has arrived, and

work is still ongoing. The staff and maintenance department certainly

deserve great appreciation for all the hard work they do daily. Please

remember, the City of Bristol has passed an ordinance concerning the

removal of shopping carts from businesses. Failure to oblige with this

ordinance is grounds for a fine. As residents, please let's join together and

try to keep the property neat and safe for all to enjoy. Please do not

hesitate to contact me with your comments or suggestions at

dgodin@bristolhousing.org. You may also send correspondence to me at:

Improvements Continue for families A number of improvements are taking place on several Bristol Housing Authority properties. The improvements are both energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing. These photos show some recent upgrades made to Zbikowski Park, an affordable housing development.

It’s all fun and games

Reading and kickball, and art, oh my! A few photos of the kids in action

this summer. Special thanks to HAI Group for hosting sport activities

each week on the field and for sponsoring this year’s poster contest and to

Heather, our WOW Mobile librarian, who visited Cambridge Park every

Tuesday and Thursday.
