Bill > HB05829

This bill seeks to appropriate funds from the General Fund to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) for implementing road safety improvements in New Milford, specifically those outlined in the department's October 2024 Road Safety Audit report. The bill would allocate a specific dollar amount (which is left blank in the current draft) to be used for completing recommended road work in the town during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Additionally, the bill proposes amending Chapter 242 of the general statutes to mandate that the DOT complete these road safety improvements in a timely manner. By requiring both funding and a formal requirement for implementation, the bill aims to ensure that the safety recommendations identified in the audit are actually carried out, potentially addressing specific road infrastructure or traffic safety concerns that were documented in the October 2024 report.
