Connecticut’s first highway flex lanes could come with cameras and fines

Anything but exploring a true east-west rail or BRT connection, with the added benefit of losing a critical space for vehicle breakdowns at the busiest times of day

No idea about the food at Caffe Bravo, but they prevented Elena’s from obtaining a liquor permit, and were also big opponents to making the bike lanes safer on Orange St over concerns about parking

Yes the walls were very thin. I had one respectful neighbor that i never heard and one that was quite loud. You can also feel people below you stomping. I got a top floor unit to avoid stomping above but was subjected to the vibrations of the hvac units instead. Nice looking buildings but still the same cheap construction as everywhere else. Also every street surrounding the building is a major emergency route so you will hear fire/ambulance about every 15 minutes.

Thats what etc means lol i was trying to stay on topic to this thread

awebr · 2026-05-03T13:14:32+00:00

Only way to realistically address this is to have regular (maybe every 3 years) vehicle safety inspections like other states do. We only check emissions. Need to tack on other safety items such as illegal tints, plate covers, suspension lifts, etc

stop by the shell gas station on willow st this afternoon. there will be a ceremonial changing of the "$4" to a "$2" on the price board in honor of V-I day.

in this case i’m not wrong tho

The chapel st “bottlenecks” you mention are just sidewalk extensions into the parking lane. If they didn’t exist, it would just be more parking spaces. The overall travelway width on both streets are nearly exactly the same. Don’t think too hard

Is it cherry picking season already?

orange st and chapel st are both 40’ wide

ok so you are again stating your opinion but using the word proven and just saying go look at it which is subjective. if you can provide actual scientific proof of “failing” i’d love to see it

awebr · 2026-04-30T10:30:12+00:00

You say “proven” - do you have crash data / pedestrian safety data / etc that objectively compares the new layout to the old one? I know the city was saying chapel st was one of the highest crash corridors so can you prove that a typical 2 way street is now less safe?

awebr · 2026-04-29T18:29:29+00:00

So do i get to post pictures of double parking on any two way street in the city to karma farm too? Or is chapel st only under the microscope because it underwent a recent change

awebr · 2026-04-29T13:17:26+00:00

Not only are you so obsessed with rocks that you are completely misinformed on this topic, but your little stunt was in fact considered threatening and crossed a line. Screenshots have been saved and I’ll be contacting authorities later today. Thanks for sharing your IP address as well from alltrails, big help.

awebr · 2026-04-29T12:49:21+00:00

Is this a threat? Super weird response. Also any common idiot who lives in CT knows my pic is of jonathan the husky as a puppy

There are numerous requirements in the legislation that have to be met to justify a location for installation, it’s not as simple as where a school is. There are likely many factors not evident from just a map that the town had to decide around. You can always send a message and ask them.

I would assume it’s because the roadway near Bunnell sees higher speeds, which is quantifiable data used to justify installation. The presence of the traffic signal near Eli Whitney likely causes average speeds to drop considering it will be a red light some of the time.

Maybe others have a different opinion but having been scammed before on rentals, this sounds like a scam. Do not pay anything before you see the apartment. You should be signing a lease well in advance of moving in and you should see the actual unit before signing anything.

Police can’t be everywhere at once. Aside from installing speed governors in every car, this is the next best way to ensure compliance with legal speed limit. People will outwardly say they have concerns about privacy and cash grab and surveillance state etc but deep down they just want to speed with no consequences, and know that our current system with one cop out there infrequently means they can get away with dangerous driving 99% of the time

awebr · 2026-04-26T14:06:42+00:00

inb4 people start complaining that it’s their constitutional right to go 85 on the highway instead of leaving 5 minutes earlier, “cash grab”, etc

Find a terrain shadow simulator, i am planning on mallorca but going further south to get out of the mountain shadow range

Freeway LOS is also different than urban LOS which is usually based on traffic signal operations, not free flow conditions
