First Selectwoman Announces Traffic Concerns Conversations with Westporters by RTM District

First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker has announced that, in coordination with the Public Works, Planning & Zoning and Public Safety Departments, she has scheduled a series of meetings with residents of each RTM district to discuss some of the concerns facing residents in dealing with traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and the steps Town officials are taking with respect to those issues.

Included in these discussions will be officials and employees who are experienced in traffic management, knowledgeable of roadway conditions, engineering, and possible speed calming solutions, as well as the regulations and oversight authority of the Town.

Having these meetings will provide an opportunity for residents of each RTM district to talk about problems they are facing in their particular area and ask questions about possible solutions.

While certain information applies town-wide, and residents may attend any of the meetings, traffic conditions and issues are different for each neighborhood. All interested residents are encouraged to attend the meeting specific to their neighborhood/district. They will have the opportunity to express concerns and gain knowledge about what steps may be feasible or are already in progress to help manage and mitigate traffic issues. Solving the traffic issues in Town will not happen overnight, but these sessions are an essential first step.

These meeting will take place in person on Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM in the Town Hall Auditorium as follows:

Thursday, March 17, 2022: District 1
Thursday, March 24, 2022: District 4
Thursday, April 7, 2022: District 6
Thursday, April 14, 2022: District 7
Thursday, April 21, 2022: District 8
