George Strazzere assigned this issue to Ryan Percival

Due to numerous inquiries and concerns regarding the newly
installed West Street traffic signals, the Town would like to take this opportunity to
update residents and potential commuters. Please note that the new signals are in
an interim condition and are not at their final configuration. Currently, the signals
are on straight-timing cycles which allow each direction of traffic a green light
regardless of whether there is a vehicle present. When the signals become fully
operational cameras will be used to detect vehicles, increasing the efficiency of the
lights and reducing wait times.
Since the West Street project remains under the control of MassDOT, the Town
has not yet accepted the project as complete. The Town continues working
diligently with MassDOT to complete the project and resolve all remaining issues,
including final signal configurations.
Some residents have also expressed concern over the new geometry of the West
St., Willow St. and Summer Ave. intersection. Please be assured that after
numerous traffic studies, analysis, and multiple public meetings, independent
traffic consultants and engineers designed this intersection in the interest of safety
and traffic calming.
The Town understands that with any changes there will always be an adjustment
period. We would like to thank all of you for your patience and concerns.

Thank you for your concern. All of the signage and traffic signals for this project have been installed. The traffic signals have now been operational for a few months, and all timing issues have been resolved. Thank you.
