To the Editor:

In almost every week, The Bee reports an accident on Route 34 between Toddy Hill Road and the Monroe line.

This past issue had two serious accidents.  Due to the extreme number of crevices and raised bumps from pot hole repair the slightest rain causes drivers to lose control as happened this week.  The even worse scenario is when drivers swerve into oncoming traffic due to these trouble spots.

 The Newtown streets department has stated there is nothing they can do as this is a state highway.

 Perhaps a strong editorial by The Bee might gain the interest of our state representatives or town council to bring action form the state.
