The Issue – Traffic Light Petition
For decades, Thomaston Avenue in Waterbury has been a known hotspot for speed-related car accidents, from racing to severe collisions, including loss of life. The absence of traffic lights has only exacerbated these issues. We, the concerned citizens and commuters of Waterbury, are petitioning for:
- Immediate installation of traffic lights to regulate speed and flow at strategically placed locations.
- Better safety for pedestrians and cyclists who share this route.
- A proactive approach from our city officials to address this longstanding issue.
We cannot afford to wait any longer for change. Strategically placed traffic lights will reduce racing and speeding on this road, and will reduce needless traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths.
Please sign this petition to urge the City of Waterbury and relevant state bodies to take prompt action by installing traffic lights on Thomaston Avenue, making our community safer for everyone.

Recently, Etemi Law was quoted in Market Watch about the program:
“Operation Give Back” is a very important program at Etemi Law. “As long as Etemi Law exists, Operation Give Back will be there to provide underprivileged communities the school supplies they need,” said Ron Etemi, Founder and CEO of Etemi Law.
Ron Etemi, who runs the personal injury law firm along with his brother and fellow litigation attorney, Lou Etemi, were born and raised in Waterbury, Connecticut. The brothers were raised by immigrant parents in a non-English speaking home, and educated in the Waterbury public school system.
“Public schools in underprivileged communities need help” said Lou Etemi, “and we’re here to give back to the communities that helped get us where we are today.”
While Etemi Law is known for helping injury victims with their medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, and car accident cases, it recognizes the importance of giving back to the community. Since launching “Operation Give Back,” Etemi Law has donated school supplies to multiple local public schools, including schools in Waterbury and Naugatuck.
“Our goal is to level the playing field for public school children and to give them the supplies, technology, and tutoring they need to be successful,” said Ron Etemi.
