Garner widespread support for completion of the Route 7 Expressway to Danbury Oppose the widening of existing Route 7 from Route 33 to Olmstead Hill Road Attain government approval of the Route 7 Extension from Grist Mill Road to Routes 7/33 Re-establish the respect and confidence of our neighboring north and south communities
The town of Wilton is situated on a major North/South corridor. Vehicles heading to points north or south go through the town. They do not stop here. They do not want to stop here. They just go through here as fast as possible. On the fastest route possible.
The Committee opposes the widening of the current Route 7, as it is not a long-term solution to the traffic problems in this corridor. The widening will result in more congestion and air pollution, as the road narrows back to 2 lanes north of Olmstead Hill Road and the addition of 6 new traffic lights will only encourage commuters to use the side roads in ever increasing numbers and with ever increasing frequency.
