The Connecticut Department of Transportation is developing plans to upgrade existing pedestrian crossing equipment at 25 different locations in 20 towns including Bethel, Danbury, Ridgefield and Southbury. 

The proposed upgrades include countdown pedestrian indications, accessible pedestrian pushbuttons, and concurrent pedestrian phasing which will improve accessibility and pedestrian safety.  Upgrades are also proposed for intersections in New Milford, Newtown, Oxford, and Seymour. 

At this time, the DOT doesn't anticipated the an informational meeting or formal public hearing will be necessary. 

The design plans for these projects are expected to be completed in April 2023, with a tentative advertising date for construction of July 2023. Anyone interested in requesting information on this project may do so by contacting Ethan Donecker, Project Manager via email at Ethan.Donecker@ct.gov and make reference to Project No. 0174-0452.
