Sec. 13a-85b. Route 7 limited access highway from Danbury to Norwalk. Acquisition of property. Property in Danbury adjacent to Route 7. (a) The Commissioner of Transportation shall not sell, or use in any manner that is incompatible with
transportation purposes, the existing right-of-way acquired for potential use as the Route
7 limited access highway from Danbury to Norwalk. Should any properties situated
within said right-of-way which are not currently owned by the Department of Transportation be offered for sale to the state, the commissioner may, within available funds,
acquire said properties upon terms and conditions which are equitable to both the property owner and the state. The commissioner may, within available funds, acquire any
properties not currently owned by the Department of Transportation that are situated
within such right-of-way when such properties come onto the market for sale and if
such purchase would (1) alleviate particular hardship to a property owner, on his request,
in contrast to others because of an inability to sell his property; or (2) prevent imminent
development and increased costs of a parcel which would tend to limit the choice of
highway alternatives.
(b) The Commissioner of Transportation shall not sell, or use in any manner that
is incompatible with transportation purposes, any property currently under his control
in Danbury adjacent to Route 7 and south of Wooster Heights Road.
