SUB, : Proposed Governor's Highway Closure
I have prepared a forecast of the probable alterations in traffic patterns that will
result from a decision to close Governor's Highway. The focus of this effort has been on
the potential increase in traffic on nearby roads that parallel Governor's Highway and
therefore might serve as alternate routes.�,These are: Sullivan,Avenue, Strong Load, and
Pleasant Valley Road. The expected traffic increases on these roads are presented below
after a brief discussion of current traffic volumes.
Current 'Traffic Volumes.
Existing traffic volumes are presented in Figure 1. The volume on Governor's
Highway itself is about 2,900 vehicles per day.The volumes on the parallel facilities are:
Sullivan Avenue(14,700), Strong Road(2100), and Pleasant Valley Road (5,900).
Traffic Diversions to Parallel Routes.
An estimate of how much traffic will be diverted to parallel routes has been
prepared through the use of the South Windsor travel forecasting model developed by
CRCOG. The model is a computer simulation model that was developed specifically to
prepare a new townwide transportation plan. Some minor modifications have been made

REGIONAL PROGRAMS OF BENEFIT TO THE TOWNS AND THE REGION.

DEC.-18-1990 14:36 FROM Capito1RegionC.O.G. TO 6443781 P.03
for this study in order to allow a more detailed analysis in this part of South Windsor.
Traffic zones have been subdivided into smaller units and some roads have been added to
the roadway network.
The expected traffic impacts are displayed in Figure 2. Shown are the the volume of
trips that would be diverted from Governor's Mghway if the roadway were closed today
(1990).
most of the traffic diverted from Governors Mghway will be redirected to Pleasant
Valley Road.it is expected that about 1,500 vehicles per day will use Pleasant Valley Road
as an alternate to Governor's Highway.This would increase the current volume of 5,900 to
7,500.While this will;not create any congestion problems on pleasant Valley Toad itself,it
is possible that the level-of-service at the Pleasant Valley-Route 5 intersection and/or the
Pleasant Valley-Route 30 intersection night be adversely affected.Detenn atxon of this
will require turning movement counts and capacity analyses at both intersections.
The impacts on Strong Road and Sullivan Avenue are expected to be less. About
800 vehicles per day will be diverted to Strong Road and only 300 vehicles per day will be
diverted to Sullivan Avenue. It is unlikely that these volumes will create any congestion
problems on these roads.It is recognized that the Sullivan Avenue-Route 5 intersection is
already congested.However,the addition of only 300 cars per day(or about 30 cars in the
peak hour) is unlikely to add appreciably to the problem. A,turning movement count and
capacity analysis is needed to confirm this.

MEMORANDUM ti` September 28, 1990
TO: Mike Gantick, Director of Public Works
FROM: Mel Stead, Superintendent of Streets I
RE: Governor 's Highway Dry Well
I met with Mr. Tersavich at 8:30 AM, Wednesday, September 26, 1990. He
relayed his concerns and demonstrated the problem he has each time it
rains.
The dry well constructed here 20 - 22 years ago was intended as a
temporary solution to the problem of water ponding in front of his
driveway. His recollection is that 3 truck loads of stone was used to
fill around the catch basin and that it worked fine for several years. . It
is apparent that after all these years the voids between the stone have
silted in with fine sand- and the volume of water contained is only that-
which will fill the catch basin.
w
The water was approximately 2 inches below the grate on September 26 and
it has not rained since Saturday, September 22.
I discussed the long range solution of installing drainage westerly and
connecting to the system on Beldon Road. I showed him the Capital
Improvement printout so he is aware of the cost magnitude of the project.
He would really appreciate a short term solution.
We discussed replacing the dry well with another and he mentioned how at
one time it was suggested that the water be piped to the rear. He
mentioned the shortcomings of putting water in the backyard and I
mentioned that the leaves and sticks would plug up the inlet pipe to
Beldon Road drainage system.
I have noticed that the water stays on the road here longer and longer
after storms. This will present icing problems this winter, both on
Governor 's Highway and on Mr. Tersavich ' s driveway. I feel a short term
project such as replacement of or addition to the existing dry well is in
order. I also suggest that the __1_awn area directly behind the basin be
lowered so the overflow would run down_tffe-lawn area instead of the
driveway. We also discussed a driveway apron.
In conclusion I told him I would discuss options with the Director of
Public Works and get back to him.
'd Page 2
Memorandum
Governor 's Highway Dry Well
The water problem here is severe enough that we have put out barricades on
several occasions this year to warn motorists to slow down.
I propose that the dry well be replaced and that a driveway lip/apron
raising the driveway about 2 inches be installed, but only if the lawn is
lowered to accept overflow during heavier rains.
Materials Cost.
1 catch basin top $ 200.00
1 beehive style dry well 400.00
20 bricks @.60 each 12 .00
2 bags cement @7.50 7.50
1/2 cubic yard mason sand @10.00 5.00
14 tons 3/4" stone @14 .00 196.00
Total Material $ 828.00
Installation should be about 1 1/2 days by Contractor at a cost of
$1,500.00 +/- per day.
Contractor cost $2,250.00
Materials 828.00
Total Cost $3,078.00
We should be able to use the three quote standard form and solicit
favorable proposals within 2 weeks. Funding would be from Miscellaneous
Drainage Account (Balance +/- $85,000) .
A gas line was installed here a few years ago. It may not be possible to
install a beehive style dry well without encroaching on Mr. Tersavich ' s
property.

FROM: Melvin Stead, Superintendent of Streets fvj�
RE: 733 Governor 's Highway
The following observations have been made at the residence of Mr. & Mrs.
Michael Carew, 733 Governor 's Highway, (reference your letter of 5/22/90)
Your request to remove the railroad ties has been observed, but a small
wall made up of 3 layers of stacked patio blocks with mortared vertical
joints has been installed to replace the ties. At the ends of the wall ,
which runs the length of his property, are columns 2 1/2 ' in height. This
structure is constructed at the edge of the pavement within the Town 's
right-of-way.
The wall is a greater safety hazard than the railroad ties. A moving
object, such as snow and ice control vehicles, striking the wall could
result in flying debris.
Please re-evaluate this situation; was a proper permit issued, and is the
wall constructed to specifications of the permit.

Mr. & Mrs . Michael Carew
733 Governors Highway
South Windsor, CT 06074
Dear Mr. & Mrs . Carew:
It has been brought to our attention that railroad ties have been
placed at the edge of pavement along Governors Highway., in front
of your house. These ties were placed within the Town's Right of
Way without a permit and represent a safety hazard. These
railroad ties need to be relocated off the Right of Way. We ask
that you remove these by June 15, 1990 .
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Jerry C. Iazzetta,
P.E. of my staff on 644-2511 as he is familiar with this
situation.

South Windsor Town Council

South Windsor, CT 06074
Dear Representatives:
We, the undersigned residents of Governors Highway and Beldon Road, would
appreciate the town council's support in making a cul-de-sac at the end of our
residential area of Governors Highway.
Our neighborhood is a very populated residential area and our needs and concerns
for our street and the safety of our children and us have gone unnoticed much
too long. With more and more construction taking place, this will pose a
definite traffic, health, and safety problem for our neighborhood.
Please take into consideration what has happened in the past on Prospect Street
in East Hartford. Now, as a result of original poor planning, East Hartford is
presently taking steps to alleviate residents concerns by planning an alternate
traffic route over the dike and by-passing the residential area.
Please, we ask you once again for your support.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Residents of Governors Highway and Beldon Road

Gentlemen:
Earlier this month, you were contacted by the South Windsor
Chamber of Co:aMerce to attend a meeting at the South Windsor Tomm
Hall regarding truck traffic on Governor's Highway. (A copy of
that letter is attached) . Since you were not in attendance at
the meeting, you will find enclosed a copy of the minutes of that
meeting for your review.
In an effort to reduce the volume of truck traffic on the
. residential section of Governor's Highway, the Town is asking the
cooperation of all businesses in the area whose trucks or
carriers use Governor's Highway to avoid travel on that portion
of the roadway. We are asking that you instruct your drivers and
request your carriers to avoid travel on the residential portion
of Governor's Highway.
The Town is asking that such volunteer measures be taken in an
effort to avoid imposing more stringent restrictions upon the use
of Governor's Highway. I will be calling upon you during the
next week to discuss the Town's concerns with this issue.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Dear Chief Executive Officer:
As you have probably read in local daily newspapers, trouble is brewing in our residential
zones concerning overuse of several narrow cross town roadways by very large trucks.
The complaints, coming primarily from residents of Governors Highway, Chapel,
Pleasant Valley and Strong Roads, have reached the Town Hail and the Town Council.
Pressures are mounting to severely control truck traffic or at best, limit the hours
these roads can be used by trucks, primarily the big tractor trailers. .
As the voice of the business community, the South Windsor Chamber of Commerce
is inviting truck companies and large truck users to a meeting where the problems will
be outlined and mutual cooperation sought to prevent prohibitive ordinances being••ereated.
It is of the utmost importance that you or your representative be present to tackle
this rapidly growing problem.
The meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. in the Council chambers at the
South Windsor Town Hall, 1540 Sullivan Ave.
RSVP regrets only to the Chamber office, 644-9442.
Very truly yours,

PAGE 2
Police Chief Gary Tyler reported that there were plans for a
meeting with the homeowners in the Governor's Highway area and
explained that a Citizen's Watch program would be initiated at
that time. This program would help in identification of the
companies which the residents felt were the problem. He
cautioned that complaints will increase once this is in effect.
He stated that enforcement of the speed limit had been stepped up
and this had showed that speeders were basically vehicular, not
trucks. Mr. Joseph Tine suggested that offenders be identified
and notified of the problem rather than ticketed. The Town
Manager stated that South Windsor has a long standing agreement
with the J.C. Penney warehouse in Manchester. The agreement,
which requests that South Windsor roads not be used by the
company, has been very successful and might be used as a
guideline for this situation: -It was suggested that trucks might
be stopped as they go through the area, told of the problem and
asked to use a different route if possible. The Police Chief
felt there would be a legal problem with this. Mr. Mike Carew
presented alternative wording of signs which might be used to _
stop the truck traffic. Mr. Joe Ravalese agreed with Mr. Tine's
suggestion, expressed a willingness to cooperate and stated that
specific offenders need to be identified and told what they need
to do. The firms in attendance stated that they were willing to
notify the trucking companies- they use. It was felt that if
these companies were asked to cooperate and given suggested
routes to use, they would be cooperative. The Town Manager
summed up what had been discussed as the following:
- The offenders need to be identified
" The businesses. which were not. at the meeting will be
contacted
- A flyer/poster will be made up giving suggestions on
alternate routes and requesting that trucks not use
Governor's Highway. These will be distributed to the
South Windsor businesses for their dispatch areas.
Mr. Burnham thanked everyone for coming and the meeting adjourned
at 2:45 P.M.

FROM: Richard J. Sartor, Town Manager
RE: Governors Highway Alternatives
DATE: September 26, 1988
Attached please find a list of alternatives regarding truck
traffic on Governors Highway for your consideration. The list
includes anticipated traffic benefits and cost of alternatives
where applicable.
Also attached is a chart of most likely routing for intertown
trucks traveling between all towns surrounding South Windsor.
This origin/destination chart indicates that it is probable that
most truck traffic on Governors Highway is not through truck
traffic; rather, that trucks have their origin or destination
within South Windsor.
