Board agrees to place speed‑camera question on November ballot; locations to be specified
Summary
The Board supported placing a speed‑camera referendum on the November ballot, discussing two school zones and the Routes 254/118 intersection as candidate locations; CTDOT has offered to attend a public hearing and the Board requested data from other towns with cameras.
First Selectman Denise Raap asked the Board whether to place a speed‑camera question on the November ballot; the Board agreed and began discussing candidate locations and public outreach.
The Board discussed specifying the proposed locations — two school zones and the intersection of Routes 254 and 118 — and whether town electors would support cameras. Raap noted "CTDOT has offered to attend and answer questions at a public hearing regarding speed cameras." Selectman Jeff Zullo asked for comparative data from towns that operate speed cameras or suggested inviting representatives from those towns to share experience.
Board members did not finalize the ballot language at this meeting; Raap said CTDOT could attend a public hearing to answer technical questions. Staff will return with options for the Board to consider before any final ballot wording is posted.
