Whitneyville residents really turned out for launch of petition drive and updates on infrastructure projects!
WCA is kicking off a community-wide petition to urge CTDOT to accelerate its timeline for traffic calming and infrastructure improvement on Whitney Ave (State Route 707). Please take a read of the below documents – if you agree with the intent, please sign the petition (electronic preferred) and share with your neighbors and friends!
Our goal is to collect as many signatures as possible in the next couple weeks, then engage with CTDOT and elected leaders to schedule a meeting together in May to bring more attention to the issues on Whitney Ave and develop concrete next steps for CTDOT’s traffic calming plans.
Join us 7pm this Thursday, March 21st, at the Board of Education building!
We will be joined by our town engineer, Stephen White. Agenda items will focus on local infrastructure improvements and traffic calming initiatives – including the new sidewalks planned on Davis St and other traffic calming/infrastructure projects planned for Whitneyville!
We will also be presenting the kickoff of a grassroots petition to urge CTDOT to accelerate its timeline for traffic calming and infrastructure improvement on Whitney Ave (State Route 707).
Check out the heat map below for a little teaser for the kickoff
