I’m that guy that doesn’t let anyone in Wilton or Ridgefield in or out while on Route 7. I’m also the guy DRIVING LIKE CRAZY past School Rd in Wilton. Just to get back at you FOOLS who do not want a Super 7. Ever hear the people in Brookfield or New Milford complain about the current extension of Route 7 in those towns? No, because they’re not self-absorbed, self-centered snobs. SHAME ON BOB DUFF AND JODI RELL for not having the guts to take on those idiots who think they can prevent progress.

I’ve looked for the research on cloverleafs and find it ambiguous and not as clear cut as other posters say. Could someone please cite the sources you have with the statistics on cloverleaf intersections so that I can see for myself?

There is so much research against the safety of the cloverleaf design. In addition to being unsafe, the proposed cloverleaf design will have a negative impact on the woodlands and wetlands of the Silvermine community. I am concerned that the Merritt Parkway Conservancy has had so much influence on the design of the project. The needs of all must to be taken into consideration.

I hope all will attend the May 14 meeting with Larry Cafero – 7:30 pm at Silvermine Elementary School.

When will the anti-7 Rep. Boucher (pronounced BooShay like the pretentious Hyancinth BooKay but really Bucket on keeping Up Appearances) retire and let the adults take control of SW Connecticuts transportation?
She has been useless to the frustrated residents of this state. oh but she serves the spoiled rich back country hoo-hahs in wilton just fine.

Duff is right on to get the conversation started about super 7 again.

I hope the idiots who stopped Super 7 thirty years ago fester for hours in their SUVs.

good letter in the hour today against the cloverleaf. it takes courage to speak up against the majority, but this letter is spot on. this cloverleaf is a deathtrap and should be rejected by the adults in the DOT and in our community.

I can not believe how backward the highways in ct are! I think the fact that the route 7/merritt interchange was not constructed as a complete north/south/east/west one in the first place. I only plan on living in southwest ct for another 3 years so I’ll never see any changes. P.S. – My house is for sale (It’ll take 3 years to sell it)

Read all about how obsolete the deathtrap cloverleafs are, and how they are being phased out all over the world, except of course in Norwalk CT which is the only place in the world planning to build a new one. A monument to stupidity.

They should widen both I-95 and Merritt Parkway to 5 or 6 lanes a piece and finish the Super 7. This would dramatically reduce traffic congestion throughout Fairfield County and save thousands of manhours every week sitting in traffic.

anonymous 3: I guess that’s why they light up runways, because of those sleepy pilots … And then there’s the lighthouse, the harbor lights, and all those other instances where light is used to ward off sleep.
