Is anybody still working on the report filed or written on 4/10/18 regarding pedestrians "crossing road marks" needed on the Boston Avenue across from Chase Bank to the shopping plaza which caters to shoppers at Price Rite and other stores . ?

Since it is an serious matter concerning the safety of the people alighting from the bus to cross the road for their shopping needs .

Please have some one from the PWD and DOT to visit and inspect the scenario before there is an road accident waiting to happen .

Acknowledged

Thank you for reporting the issue to the City of Bridgeport. Boston Avenue is a state-owned road. The Mayor’s Office contacted the State Department of Transportation (DOT) today, and they will alert Lines and Markings Department, for the zebra lines to be marked in that section of the road.

Is the complain regarding a missing crosswalk at the bust stop? That crosswalk is considered a mid-block crosswalk and based on the fact that 140' south there is an existing traffic signal with marked crosswalks such crosswalk will not be considered by the DOT. However, DOT traffic design bureau should be contacted to revise the existing traffic signal to include pedestrian lights and push buttons.

Yes it is for existing crosswalk but the crossing marks are either fading or missing at the traffic stoplights .

Besides the requested markings are for better and safer movement by the bus commuters .

The general public at large who go to the shopping plaza for their shopping or banking needs at People's United Bank or for their Dentist's appointments or grocery shopping or for kids and women's apparel purchase to those stores in the neighbourhood near Price Rite markets .

Any further action has been taken in the above matter for which I am anxiously awaiting for your detailed information as of today .

Thank you for reporting your issue to the City of Bridgeport. Unfortunately, Boston Avenue is a state road. Given this fact, any requests of this nature need to be directed to the Connecticut State Department of Transportation. Their phone number is, 860-594-2000. Your issue is now closed.
