The Editor's Notepod, Sat., June 26, 2010

Meriden: traffic studies to evaluate the existing signal system and design issues on three thoroughfares in particular (Preston, Johnson and Allen). “Improvements” in the streets noted will, of course, mean change; we also hope traffic light evaluation will mean removal of some as well as rescheduling of others so repeat and adjacent stops are eliminated.

After Friday’s crashes in Southington on I-84, we are reminded of what dangerous places the interstates can be, and we urge care on everyone as these roads, as useful as they are, are negotiated. Good driving manners by all would probably help, too.

Wallingford: the sidewalk replacement program follows a sensible 13-zone replacement plan, but sidewalk complaints are so ubiquitous, and repairs so expensive, that the town has not completed a full rotation through all zones since John Thompson first became town engineer 10 years ago.
