CT: US 5, CT 73, and CT 157 Point Requests
« on: April 03, 2022, 08:23:22 pm »
Myself (and probably a few others) would like to have a point at Aurora St (just north of CT 8 ) as we turned here as part of touring the I-84/CT 8 Construction during the Waterbury/Meriden, CT, Meet yesterday.  A point on US 5 at Britannia St would be useful as well.

I could also personally use a point on CT 157 at Jackson Hill Rd (north of CT 147). (This was due to me following CT 157 NB north of CT 147 by accident.)

I was wondering whether you were going to request that point on CT 73.  I've been learning not to assume that I can plan travels to smooth out the map based on whether a meet tour doesn't go on a complete segment of a route (which would therefore make it a non-factor for TM purposes).

Similarly, CT 68 could use a point where the access for CT 8 is.  It didn't end up as one that would have been used by meet attendees, but it was supposed to be - it just so happens that the signs for CT 69 from CT 42 are gone, so we missed the turn and ended up using CT 63 instead.  It's just as well; my map looks nicer with the graph connection.

I even told Duke87 that I wondered whether I would be the first to do that one.

I did not realize that pretty much everyone missed that turn.  Duke87 and I ended up with a clinch (or in Duke87's case a reclinch) of CT 42. (giving me 5 truly clinched 42s (DE, MD, PA, NJ, CT) and the middle section of VA 42)  (I also clinched the southern section of NY 42 on the trip home.)

Looks reasonable. Added.

A point on US 5 at Britannia St would be useful as well.
I'm more Meh about this one. Was it also used by a number of people at the meet?

I could also personally use a point on CT 157 at Jackson Hill Rd (north of CT 147). (This was due to me following CT 157 NB north of CT 147 by accident.)
A little meh, but I'll add it under the CHM "collaborator perks" doctrine. What the hey, it's a major enough road for CT157 to have a stop sign.
Oh bother. That brings it out of tolerance here. WadSt added.

CT 68 could use a point where the access for CT 8 is.
Added.

It was a turn on the early part of the meet after visiting the Meriden Traffic Control Tower.

Fair enough; added for the sake of the meet attendees.
