Town staff members have continued to work on advancing the design of the Broad Street road diet / complete street project. Over the winter and spring, we have updated traffic counts and have been exploring the possibility of incorporating bike lanes and replacing the traffic signals at Palisado and Broad, Poquonock and Prospect Street and Poquonock and Bloomfield with roundabouts. These ideas were raised by attendees at a public information session this past winter. We have been in communication with CT DOT and they are in support of the roundabouts as they can slow down traffic and reduce the severity of accidents. This meeting will be an opportunity to present the various options and the pros / cons or constraints of each option and to hear input from residents, businesses and property owners. The scope of the proposed project includes the reduction of Broad Street to one travel lane in each direction from Poquonock Avenue (Route 75) to Sycamore Street, the addition of on street parking, and improved walkability of the downtown area. Based on public feedback received since the last information session in December 2023, the Town is analyzing the feasibility of installation of a bike lane(s); as well as exploring the possibility of installing roundabouts at the intersections of Broad Street and Poquonock Avenue and Poquonock Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue in lieu of traffic signals. Anyone interested in obtaining further information may do so by contacting the Town’s Engineering Department at (860) 285-1861, or by email at engineering@townofwindsorct.com.
