As of May 20, 2009, the dangerous traffic on Ringgold Street persists!!

I wish I could say that the town of West Hartford has taken action to mitigate this dangerous situation. Sadly, I must report that nothing has been done!

To the Town of West Hartford: FIX THIS ABOMINABLE SITUATION NOW!!! DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO OCCUR!!!

This problem is unresolved. A motor vehicle accident occurred last week at Ringgold Street and Park Road. The town must take action!!!!

Another auto accident last week at the Park Rd, Ringgold St. intersection. Is the town ignorant of this situation or does it not care? We expect more from the town of West Hartford!

This situation is worsening!!!

At long last, it seems fair to speculate that the Town of West Hartford will not remedy this awful situation owing to the influence of a "special interest" in the area.

One wonders how the Traffic Division of the West Hartford Police Department occupies itself? To my knowledge, it has never monitored this dangerous situation.

Four months of continuous reportage and still no action by the Town of West Hartford!!!

Five months have passed without any remedial action by the Town of West Hartford!

Ward,

Describe the problem in detail and suggest a course of action. Apparently you have a front-row seat to this situation, so you probably have the most insight on how to remedy it.

My Thanks to CM for your interest. The problem, as outlined above, can only be controlled, not eliminated. Webster Bank could not open this branch in this location under current W. H legislation because it does not meet town requirements. However, the dangerous periods can be determined and controlled by the assistance of a traffic professional to manage the problems that arise repeatedly during the week. If you have further suggestions, I wish to hear them.

Thanks,
Ward Farrell

This situation is worsening. Help!!!!

Well, the "watchers" are watching but taking no action. It would seem that those with the power to ameliorate this serious situation will not act until the occurrence of an inevitable and sad outcome.

This is "Thanksgiving" week. It will be a busy and dangerous week on Ringgold Street. The potential for serious accidents will be high. When attempting to do your drive-up business, please exercise extreme caution.

December is a high traffic month on Ringgold Street. The traffic dangers persist. Be aware of the danger and exercise caution when traveling on Ringgold Street and its intersection with Park Road.

The Town of West Hartford is aware of this on-going situation. It has taken no action. It is futile to continue this alert.
