Yesterday, I thought to myself: “What is a scenic road?”
I ask and the Connecticut General Statutes answer:
A ”scenic road” means any state highway or portion thereof that (1) passes through agricultural land or abuts land on which is located an historic building or structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the state register of historic places, compiled pursuant to section 10-409, or (2) affords vistas of marshes, shoreline, forests with mature trees or notable geologic or other natural features. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 13b-31b
Before you apply to law school, take a minute and reflect on this post. One minute you’re driving down a nice road and the next minute you’re thinking about zoning implications for abutters of scenic roads.
