Broad Street Road Diet Info Session


Broad Street Road Diet Info Session


You're invited to a Public Information Meeting on Tuesday, June 25 in the Council Chambers at Windsor Town Hall, to ask questions and share your input on this project. A webinar version of this meeting (video streaming only, no participation) will be available via Zoom, here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84871570917

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.
