One person did not do $100K worth of damage alone. And the owners surely won't be able to get fullRead More remuneration from one 18 year old kid. So why aren't others being charged? Last I looked it was the court system who decided who was guilty and who was not - not the police department. I bet if the house was owned by the chief of police, first selectman or chairman of the police commission there would be a whole lot more arrests.

I-395 Exit 79A will become either exit 9 or 10 under a new exit renumbering system to match it with the nearest mileage markers. Photo Courtesy: Google Maps

Who is the fool that wants to blow $9 million dollars renumbering exit signs that have stood sinceRead More the mid 60s? AS I understand it, the new exit numbers will correspond to the mile markers. So if the mile maker is 9.2, the exit number near that marker will be exit 9. However, the next exit is at marker 12.5, and the exit will be exit 13. Does that make sense? Who is going to pay for all the redesigning of the maps, the business owners who have spent thousands of dollars preparing literature showing which exit to take to get to their stores? As usual, the government wants to fix something that's not broken, and make it worse. The real problems don't get fixed. Get ready, next it'll be saying "we spent so much money renumbering all the highway exits, now we have to raise your taxes to pay the bill".

That's a good question. I assume it will show up as exit 9 once the new markers are installed butRead More that's up to the GPS manufacturer to be aware of the change and reflect it on their software. However, it will only show up as exit 9 for for folks who update their GPS systems by plugging it into their computer and running update software. Many forget to update their systems regularly. The signs will be even more confusing as it will say "Exit 9: Old Exit 79A". I have seen those signs when PA highways did the changeover and it severely confuses those unfamiliar with the area the most. "Welcome to CT: Now It's time to Get Confused As We Call An Exit 2 Different Numbers For No Good Reason!"

How will the Exit renumbering system affect the existing maps on the 100 of millions of automobileRead More GPS units? Will the Casino Exit show up as 79A or 9 on our automobile's GPS?
