Waterbury reservoir is past the field. It was also late fall/early winter which I wonder if that makes a difference for sound?

As someone who biked everywhere for years, this is safer. Do have any idea long it takes for a bicyclist to regain speed and get out of an intersection after stopping? The answer is too damn long. You'd get pancaked by oncoming traffic within a week if you stopped at every intersection like a car.

House Bill to improve jack shit. I know progress has to start someone, but if these bullet points represent the highlights of the effort, then why bother?

Well I’m glad they can draw in more, but Instill wish CT people would like hockey as much as they like uconn basketball, which seems to average 10k a game.
Big thing is hockey is not affordable, so a basketball has more of a reach.
I’d be interested to know how the whalers attendance would be if it were in maybe Stamford instead of Hartford
Looking at the 1990s, whalers attendance was abysmal…

Yeah but all those places also have more space for sporting facilities, and have bigger metros in the area. Hartford is still low on that list of desirables areas to be. Also have you been to hartford? There’s really nothing going on, it always seems empty to me.
All the Canadian cities with NHL teams have much more to offer than hartford.
I started liking/watching hockey in 1996 as a kid, I didn’t even know hartford was a team, flipping channels I always got rangers games. Maybe it’s cause I grew up in southern CT? And my buddy who got me started on hockey kicked the Colorado avalanche as his team, and I think it was their first year being a team, vs hartford who has been in the NHL since 79?
My goal is to travel to every NHL rink to see my favorite team (the red wings) play. I’m at 19/32
I can tell you that each of those 19 cities I’ve been to are way more fun that Hartford, they have a great subway/public transport system/and care more about hockey
CT is more of a basketball state. Outside of the people I play adult league hockey with, no one I know is a hockey fan. College? Barley anyone I knew in 5 years there didn’t really watch. I work at a company with 100+ employees, don’t know everyone personally, but I know I’m the only hockey fan.

I meant from existing stroad-like roads. Instead of creating additional lanes, you use those lanes for other modes of transport. I don't expect full fledged bike lanes on someone's neighborhood residential street where you have small lots

It’s not just expense. How are you going to feel when 10ft of your front yard is now gone? For some areas that’s no big deal, but in a neighborhood like mine that’s literally like 10% of my property. It would be a massive battle for a lot of places, eminent domain or no.
That said, I live in a very walkable and pretty bikeable area except for the giant stroad nearby. Not everyone is so lucky though.

How does any of this stop the unregistered and unlicensed drivers making Waterbury a complete free for all?
All this does is make the process more of a pain in the dick for people that aren't pieces of shit.

As a bike commuter it’s kinda like this now, unless the intersection is busy. I do everything to keep myself getting pancaked by cars, and you really need to play it by ear at stop signs. Having this be the new law would be great.

The real solution is off-road and proper divided pathways for cyclists and pedestrians. But obviously, that solution is too expensive for one of the wealthiest states in a wealthy country. Go figure.
A bicycle against a however many thousand pound vehicle will lose, always.

I may listen to some of it in my car on my drive home from work. I'll get home about an hour after kick off, so maybe there?

I was an avid and major fan of the NFL but I completely lost interest, it will be a little shorter then I planned but I was going to stop watching once the league disgraced itself with putting a known cheater who isn't actually above average into the hall of fame (Tom Brady) but this year was so god awful with refs I am done the refs need to stop dictating the winner of games. The league got way to protective it's as bad as NBA we're heading on course for players sitting out because of sprains, slivers and broken finger nails after their pedicures.

A coastal drive with a picnic in the car parked somewhere scenic would be an ideal date. For me, anyway.
