Traffic Control Signal and Pedestrian Control Feature Upgrades in Avon, Danbury, East Granby, Farmington, Kent, Middlebury, Simsbury, and Southbury
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is developing plans to replace existing traffic control signal equipment with new equipment to meet current CTDOT standards at 24 locations in the cities or towns of Avon, Danbury, East Granby, Farmington, Kent, Middlebury, Simsbury, and Southbury. At applicable locations, pedestrian control features (countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pushbuttons, sidewalk ramps) will be upgraded to improve accessibility and pedestrian safety. CTDOT will coordinate with the city or town during the design phase. The following intersections are included:
