Reply to comment by pinktwillshirt in Why is roadwork in this state becoming increasingly disorganized? Between the signs that don't match the construction, a lack of cops directing traffic in highly populated areas, and signs that don't state lane closures. I feel although its just creating unnecessary chaos across the state. by StankyDudeHoleDandy

Population has not exploded post covid. You perceive it to have exploded because traffic eased up during covid since everyone stayed home, and now it is back. Traffic has always been horrible in CT, especially Fairfield County.

The answer to the problem is solution #1 that you mentioned. We need generational infrastructure built, probably both a highway expansion and a vastly improved train system.

Housing stocks are literally at an all time low in CT because so many people moved here during COVID.

That changes nothing about you being 100% correct about CT needing a complete overhaul on highways, parkways and massive investment into public transit and making cities and towns more walkable/bikeable.

Population in CT did not grow significantly last year or the year prior or the year prior. It’s been flat.

CT needs everything you just described + housing built in our cities and continued investment in them. Cities are where density is designed for, and they are economic powerhouses for a state. Problem is ct cities by and large suck and lack housing.
