Clinton asks CT DOT for design exception for Waterside Lane Bridge after public comments
Summary
Town Manager Michelle Benivegna told the council she has asked CT DOT to grant a design exception to build a one-lane Waterside Lane Bridge with two pedestrian sidewalks, citing low traffic and seasonal use; public commenters had raised concerns earlier in the meeting.
The Town Manager reported she has submitted a formal letter to the Connecticut Department of Transportation requesting a design exception for the Waterside Lane Bridge project that would permit a one-lane bridge with two pedestrian sidewalks. The memorandum states the request is based on the roadway's low average daily traffic, seasonal use, and the absence of anticipated future development that would justify a two-lane structure.
Earlier in the meeting, residents Maureen Welman and Barbara Blanco provided comments concerning the Waterside Lane Bridge project; the minutes record those public comments but do not summarize their content in detail. The Town Manager said the town will continue to work closely with DOT and provide updates as information becomes available.
