BradfordToday welcomes letters to the editor at [email protected] or via the website. Please include your full name, daytime phone number and address (for verification of authorship, not publication). The following is in response to the article 'NEWSMAKERS OF 2024: Accessory dwelling units rile residents', which was published on Jan. 3, 2025. 

I was pleased to see that the publication recognized the significance of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in 2024.

I believe your article last April regarding the crucial role fourplexes would play in creating gentler intensification for the Town of Bradford effectively illustrated what a fourplex would look like in our communities. When you reported on this proposal, you correctly defined a fourplex as a building with four units under one roof. 

My primary point has consistently been that a fourplex is not a triplex with an ADU in the backyard. However, the town’s reporting has deviated significantly from this expectation. 

Thank you for making this an important newsmaker for 2024.
