The Villages of Unionville and Farmington have
a unique place in Connecticut history going back to the 17th and 18th
centuries, and the atmosphere and character of the Villages of Unionville
and Farmington, including neighborhood enjoyment, public health and
safety, are being threatened by a proposal to widen portions of state
highway Route 4 which is the main east-west thoroughfare in said two
villages.
The Town of Farmington, through its legislative
and administrative bodies and officials and its boards and commissions,
shall take every precaution and action, including, if necessary, the
revocation of any prior actions, to prevent the widening of any portion
of Route 4 within the Villages of Unionville and Farmington and shall
instead utilize traffic control devices and other innovations which
do not involve any significant change in the size or character of
Route 4 or other main roadways within the Villages of Unionville and
Farmington.
