The first pedestrian to be killed in Connecticut this year was Emily Piasecki in Killingly. The mother of two was using Route 101 in the early morning. There are no sidewalks, no marked crosswalks, and the speed limit is 45. It was dark and street lighting was non-existent. This rural road is designed to kill. In April, a publicly unidentified woman was killed in the early morning while using five-lane Route 162 in West Haven.

Beginning late in the afternoon on each day that is warm enough to require a T-shirt, the children on my block go out to play. In the street. In driveways. In people’s yards. It began as one. Then another joined in, and soon, the friend group grew to about a dozen youth, most of whom live on this short street.

In the CHEAPR program’s first year (2015-16), 626 rebates were issued for the lease or purchase of new electric vehicles. In the first 10 days of the Connecticut Electric Bicycle Rebate Program, 5,000 people completed applications and another 5,000 had started but not finished their applications. CT DEEP still has to process these, ensuring applicants are state residents, but even with a modest margin of error, this is a big deal.
