Dear Editor:

For decades and decades, West Hartford drivers were somehow able to navigate the wilds of Boulevard with only their good sense and a line painted down the middle of it.

Now, the brainiacs at Vision Zero have transformed that once-beautiful road into a crazy funhouse of crooked lines, strange markings, and distracting yellow monoliths.

Evidently, the learned driving skills that have served us so well must be replaced with a brand-new system of driver micro-management. No longer can we rely on the basic rules of the road, the natural rhythms of driving and our ingrained muscle memory.

We’re told that Vision Zero will reduce traffic injuries. Unlikely. May I instead propose Vision Nonzero that returns to proven methods of law enforcement to target the obvious culprits (impaired drivers, distracted drivers, speeding drivers) without destroying the natural beauty of our town?
