Town Officials to Meet On Town Green Traffic Study By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer
The Guilford Engineering Department is looking to have a formal meeting with its staff and the First Selectman’s Office to discuss forward motion on recommendations laid out in a study for improved transportation infrastructure around the Town Green. Guilford Town Engineer Janice Plaziak
informed the Guilford Courier that she has “requested an internal meeting with staff and the First Selectman to discuss” what are “clear” recommendations within the Guilford Green Transportation Study that was finalized last year. The study was a collaboration between the Town of Guilford and the South Central Regional Council of Governments and considers several traffic flow and infrastructure alterations and additions based on
data analysis, technical review, and public input on preferred needs and measures for multiple transportation options. In order to improve overall traffic safety conditions the study broadly recommends “enhancing multi-modal access, improving pedestrian safety, and optimizing traffic flow around the Guilford Green.”
