Resolution #34-2017 — 2017-12-11

the active village center, two retail operations, significant commuter traffic volume and a residential sub-division generates increased vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic at the intersection of Rt 9 and Amherst Road/Firehouse Lane
the Village Board has no direct authority over Rt 9 NYS DOT roads nor can it design and modify traffic patterns since NYS DOT owns and controls the Rt 9 roadway
the Village Board is seeking improvement options at this intersection including a traffic light or other control mechanisms at the intersection to regulate vehicle and pedestrian flow so vehicles can better enter Rt 9 from Firehouse Lane and Amherst Road
there is a need to have the most current mechanism and design available so traffic and pedestrians can move as freely as possible
a next step is to have NYS DOT does a current traffic study

the Village Board of the Village of Red Hook asks that NYS DOT do a warrant study of the traffic flow at this intersection to see if a traffic light is required.

This document cites or incorporates the following separate documents:

2017-12-11Requesting the New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) to Further Study Traffic Light Phasing at RT 9 and RT 199
Both documents request NYS DOT studies but address different intersections and different slots: Document A requests an initial warrant study for a traffic light at RT 9/Amherst Road; Document B requests re-examination of phasing at an existing traffic light at RT 9/RT 199.
