I'd like to see faster and more frequent service on the Danbury and Waterbury branches of Metro North. That and some major road fixes.

And of course, the I wish it would happen but probably not for a long time if ever (unless I beecome governor): Mileage based exit numbering on the highways.

I would love to see Connecticut get into Mass-transit!! The new SLN as I call it would be a start, but Rell should hire someone in PRIVATE INDUSTRY (Maybe the VP of the Providence & Worcester RR). I think it would be wonderful to see some of these 'RAIL-Trails' return to RAILS.

I would love to see the DOT talk to NYDOT about getting together to rebuild the Poughkeepsie - Highland bridge. Rail frieght to New England would increase!
