I Served Under Brandon And He’s The Real Deal

Bruce's communication during the storm? Sorry, but that was a failure and an area that warrants serious introspection from our FS. Did anyone get a Code Red call like Dan used to do? Nothing early on, then flurries or repetitive emails after the fact with old information. I don't know if it was an issue using the technology or what, but our neighbors in Monroe and Bethel did a far better job updating their constituents. Lets not start a campaign by gaslighting the residents, the voters in Newtown are smarter than that.

Our Public Works Crews And First Responders Are The Best

I support the goal of improving pedestrian safety and reducing serious crashes, and I appreciate the work that went into the SS4A Safety Action Plan. That said, I’m concerned that some of the proposed “traffic control” elements (like delineators/bollards that extend into the shoulder/travel space) may be treating a symptom while ignoring a major driver-behavior problem that is creating risk and congestion today. A consistent issue on Main Street—especially with southbound traffic—is that drivers stop in the travel lane to “politely” yield to cross traffic or turning vehicles when they don’t actually have the right-of-way. That behavior backs up traffic, triggers hard braking/rear-end risk, and creates unpredictable conditions for pedestrians and other drivers. On top of that, illegal/unsafe parking too close to crosswalks and intersections reduces sight lines and makes crossings feel more dangerous than they need to be. Connecticut law already addresses this behavior. CGS § 14-251(c) prohibits a vehicle from remaining stationary on a public highway in a way that would “constitute a traffic hazard or obstruct the free movement of traffic” (with the usual exception for a disabled vehicle). Stopping in the travel lane to wave cross traffic through—when there’s no legal requirement to stop—creates exactly that kind of obstruction.
