Abstract:This report was originally done by a consultant to the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials, whose jurisdictions are located in the southwestern part of Connecticut just over the state's border with New York. The document was designed as a resource for local planning and zoning commissions, especially those without transportation professionals or staff. A large part of the document, particularly in its first and third sections, deals wtih the legal authority of Connecticut towns to control traffic. As such, the document contains quite a bit of material on statutes and court decisions which are specific to Connecticut. However, much of this material may be of interest to other state and local governments, if for no other reason than to see how one set of jurisdictions has structured its legal approach to a fairly common problem. The document also includes a substancial amount of material which should be of use under a variety of legal conditions and structures. This includes discussions of issues which should be addressed in a traffic impact study, a review of typical off-site roadway modifications, and a variety of planning procedures successfully employed by communities to limit congestion. As such, the document should be of broad applicability, assisting both local planning commissions and planners and engineers working with these groups.
