Requesting the New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) to Further Study Traffic Light Phasing at RT 9 and RT 199

Resolution #35-2017 — 2017-12-11

WHEREAS

  • the active, vibrant village center includes both large volumes of vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic at the intersection of Rt 9 and Rt 199
  • the NYS DOT owns and controls the traffic light and timing/phase control mechanisms at the intersection and designs the patterns to regulate vehicle and pedestrian flow
  • there is a need to have the most current program and phase control available so traffic and pedestrians can move as freely as possible
  • there appears to be inconsistent phase control and resulting vehicle traffic delays at the computer sensor controlled intersection

RESOLVED

  • the Village Board of the Village of Red Hook asks that NYS DOT re-examine traffic flow both on site and with any technical means (modem) to bring the traffic control up to the most current and efficient software and hardware options.
