Discussion Item: Installation of Tolls on State Roads (requested by Mayor Paterna)
Resolution Opposing the Installation of Tolls on State Roads (Councilor Snvder) WHEREAS, the South Windsor Town Council believes that the implementation of tolls on Connecticut highways would result in increased traffic on secondary roads in the Town of South Windsor with motorists attempting to bypass the tolls; and WHEREAS, the Council further believes the increased traffic on secondary roads would affect the quality of life of South Windsor residents in numerous ways, including: 1. An increase of heavy-duty commercial vehicles and tractor-trailer truck presence encroaching on our scenic New England community, negatively impacting the Town's character and atmosphere and subjecting streets to increased damage, maintenance, and repair costs resulting in an increased tax burden; 2. Crowding of secondary roads will support an increase in traffic accidents, and disruption of the pedestrian enjoyment in and around the roads affected; 3. Traffic congestion from increased vehicles and accidents may cause safety concerns and compromise public safety to the taxpayers of the Town of South Windsor. WHEREAS, the Governor and many members of the State Legislature have signaled support for the placement of tolls on Connecticut major highways; and WHEREAS, many residents of South Windsor use Interstates 84, 91, 291, and Route 15 each day for work, family obligations, and pleasure to travel to surrounding towns and cities throughout the region; and WHEREAS, the implementation of tolls will naturally result in added costs for products purchased by residents of South Windsor; and WHEREAS, the residents of Connecticut already pay more in taxes and fees than many residents in other states around the country NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the South Windsor Town Council hereby declares its opposition to the implementation of tolls on state highways and urges its elected representatives in the State Legislature to oppose any measure that would impose tolls on our residents; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the South Windsor Town Council hereby submits this Resolution to the Governor of the State of Connecticut and the Connecticut State Legislature.
