New Milford Moves to Ban Buses on South Kent Road

New Milford is drafting an ordinance to ban commercial buses on South Kent Road following residents’ safety concerns. The Town Council approved the measure last week, after a petition signed by 150 residents cited risks from tour buses using the narrow, residential road. Officials say most buses are headed to Club Getaway, whose owner supports the ban. The proposed ordinance may mirror Stonington’s oversized vehicle rules, with fines of $100 per violation. Police are already monitoring the road and issuing citations for safety violations.
