For the purpose of creating order in the streets of the Town of Willington, to ensure that the Town has proper and useful planning, to promote public safety and convenience and to ease and speed essential emergency services the Town adopts the following article.
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Willington as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 9-30-1986; amended 2-3-1987]
The numbering system, as shown on a set of maps on file in the office of the Assessor and Town Clerk entitled "Willington Street Numbering System, 1986," is hereby adopted as specified in C.G.S. § 7-148 as the Street Numbering System of the Town of Willington.
To ensure that the street numbering system is correct and understandable and that there is no confusion in street names, the following streets and roads shall henceforth be officially recognized by the names indicated herein:
A.
A road running from an intersection with Tolland Turnpike southerly through an intersection with Old Farms Road then through an intersection with Eldredge Road and ending at the Mansfield Town Line shall be "Daleville Road."
B.
A road running from an intersection with Daleville Road north to an intersection with Eldredge Road to a point 1,200 feet plus, south of an intersection of Eldredge Road and Daleville Road, shall be "Marco Road."
C.
A road running from an intersection with River Road westerly and northerly to an intersection with Tolland Turnpike, near the Vermont Central Railroad, shall be "Phelps Way."
D.
A road running from the Tolland Town Line, at the Willimantic River, easterly and traversing the length of Willington to the Ashford Town Line shall be "Tolland Turnpike."
E.
A road running from the Mansfield Town Line northerly and traversing the length of Willington to the Tolland Town Line shall be "River Road."

This article regarding municipal liability for ice and snow on public sidewalks is adopted pursuant to the authority set forth in C.G.S. § 7-163a.
Notwithstanding the provisions of C.G.S. § 13a-149 or any other General Statute or Special Act, the Town of Willington shall not be liable to any person injured in person or property caused by the presence of ice or snow on a public sidewalk unless the Town of Willington is the owner or person in possession and control of land abutting such sidewalk, other than land used as a highway or street, providing the Town of Willington shall be liable for its affirmative acts with respect to such sidewalks.
The owner or person in possession and control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall have the same duty of care with respect to the presence of ice or snow on such sidewalk toward the portion of the sidewalk abutting his, her, their or its property as the Town of Willington had prior to the effective date of this article and shall be liable to persons injured in person or property where a breach of said duty is the proximate cause of said injury.
No action to recover damages for injury to the person or to property caused by the presence of ice or snow on a public sidewalk against a person who owns or is in possession and control of land abutting a public sidewalk shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained.
The owner, agent of the owner or occupant of premises bordering on any street or public place within the Town of Willington where there is an established sidewalk shall cause to be removed therefrom any and all snow and ice within five hours after the same shall have fallen or formed, or within five hours of sunrise when the same shall have fallen or formed during the night. When it is impracticable to remove ice or snow, the sidewalk shall be made safe and convenient for travel by covering with sand or some other suitable substance.
