A federal grant has been secured to study ways to alleviate traffic congestion on Route 37 in Danbury.  The study will also look at how to improve pedestrian mobility.  Federal funding through the Surface Transportation Block Grant will be used to analyze physical and operational characteristics of North Street and Pembroke Road from the exit 6 ramp in Danbury, to just north of the intersection with Route 39 in New Fairfield. Consulting firm FHI held the first study meeting earlier this month.  The group will recommend future improvements in the corridor.  Another major objective is to promote healthy and environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
