Stratford Officials Seek State Aid to Toll Dodging Traffic
Stratford officials asked the State Traffic Commission to approve relief measures from toll dodging traffic. A State Highway Department survey by Robert Williston supported installing traffic lights at West Broad and Main streets and Honeyspot road exit, restricting trucks on East Broadway West Broad and Beardsley avenues, and enabling two way traffic at Honeyspot and Stratford avenues. Williston will report to the commission, which has final authority under Public Act 331, but no action can occur until the turnpike operates for one year.
