Talking Transportation 2023
Transportation Roundup: Construction, Bed Bugs, Twitter, Fiscal Cliff and a Revolving Door
|
It’s been an interesting week for the transportation scene in Connecticut, with good news and bad. See if you can figure out which is which:
BED BUGS: The ornate waiting room at the New Haven Union Station had to be closed the other day as the Parking Authority undertook a cleaning after bed bugs were discovered. Though it’s a very busy station and any passenger might have brought the critters into the space, it’s the people who are “unhoused” (the new euphemism for homeless) who are the likely source. This is what happens when the city treats a public transit facility as a solution for those lacking access to shelter. STAMFORD STATION: Like New Haven’s station the Stamford Transportation Center also has a lot of homeless lingering at all hours.
