Lamont Reveals Outline of Transportation Plan to Democratic First Selectman.

Governor Ned Lamont revealed key elements of his transportation-plan-in-formation to nervous Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi. Talk of tolls and their impact on local roads have made their way into Ridgefield’s local elections.

Major work on I-84 in the Danbury area is on the Department of Transportation’s list of priority projects. That project raises the prospect of tolls in the region under some of the floated, released, and discarded plans that the public have seen in the past few years.

Lamont, according to Marconi, has assured his fellow Democrat that there will be no tolls in the area. This is more information than many legislators have received on the state of the transportation plan, but they are not facing the voters next week. Marconi is a priority because politics always is.
