I'm a 27 year resident of Newtown. Grew up in Trumbull right next door. The possibility of this breaks my heart. I am proud to be from Newtown. I just think this would wreak havoc on all we hold special. We've been through enough. We can't let this happen.
Any involvement or interference by officials beyond those on the P&Z commission and registered intervenors could be used against the town if a lawsuit or appeal develops over this proposal.
Congratulations Tony. Curious if you are aware of the truck depot being proposed in Newtown at Exit 9. Air, Noise, Traffic pollution. as well as just overall impact of traffic on 84 and through town. We could really use our environmental champion to weigh in. Thanks
In my presentation I stated my objection to the volume of traffic the WEG warehouse design assumed by BL Companies in their Traffic Study would create. I left it to the P&Z Board to review my report and decide - Exactly your stated preference on how anyone should respond to the WEG proposal.
In your letter, you attack my presentation as "hyperbole & exaggeration" but you were unable to challenge a single element of my analysis in-person at the Hearing or even eight days after the Hearing in your letter above.
You assert "Don't fabricate data to embellish your point".
I back my claims as numbers independently verifiable using the ITE 10th Ed Trip Generation Rate Manual. In fact I reproduced the same numbers in the BL Companies Traffic Study and also numbers that BL companies disingenuously chose to not disclose using the same ITE Trip data models (600 trucks/day for the WEG Warehouse design). I don't need to “fabricate” data already available from the ITE.
I thank you for your inablity to challenge my claims. It makes our case stronger. Your disgruntled response and your rants are themselves a statement of how hopelessly weak and indefensible your commentary is.
You hide behind an alias because you do not want to take responsibility for your words or because people can recognize your motivations easily? Which one is it.. or is it both?
