The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5120, seeks to authorize the issuance of state bonds for the installation of traffic calming measures in the towns of Bloomfield and West Hartford. The bill empowers the State Bond Commission to issue bonds in principal amounts not exceeding a specified aggregate amount, with the proceeds designated for use by the Department of Transportation. This initiative aims to enhance traffic safety, management, and roadway conditions in the specified towns.
The bill introduces new legal language that empowers the State Bond Commission to authorize the issuance of bonds, while it does not appear to delete any existing legal language. The overall purpose of the bill is to provide necessary funding to improve traffic safety and roadway conditions in Bloomfield and West Hartford, thereby addressing community concerns regarding traffic management.
