Former Senate Democratic spokesman Patrick Scully says the state should drop its long-running plans for the New Britain to Hartford busway.
The proposal has been the subject of numerous press conferences through the years, and Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell went to New Britain during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign to announce progress on the line. The buses still aren’t running.
The plan calls for 11 stops in four communities that include downtown New Britain, East Main Street, Cedar Street in Newington, Newington junction, the Elmwood section of West Hartford, Flatbush Avenue near the West Hartford-Hartford border, New Park Avenue, Park Street in Hartford’s Frog Hollow section, Sigourney Street and Union Station in downtown Hartford.
