About the Alexander Avenue Neighborhood

1. About the Alexander Avenue Neighborhood
   1. ​Parts of the Alexander Avenue neighborhood include addresses in the Town of Wolcott.  This is due to the border of Wolcott and Waterbury having been drawn in a dysfunctional relationship to individual property borders.  Some homes have siblings of the same age going to different schools because one sleeps in a Wolcott bedroom and the other sleeps in a Waterbury bedroom. 
   2. Taxes are collected pro-rata from each municipality. 
   3. Also, there are no roadways leading to nor from some streets in Alexander Avneue neighborhood from Wolcott, except to go through Waterbury and back to Wolcott.​
