MetroCOG is planning improvements to traffic safety and congestion in Bridgeport’s Black Rock neighborhood.

AKRF is working with the Connecticut Metropolitan Council of Governments to identify improvements to Fairfield Avenue that will increase safety for all modes, reduce traffic congestion, and accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians, and other transit users throughout the corridor.

The study will culminate in a comprehensive planning document to guide future development, identify needed roadway and intersection improvements, address capacity, and solve traffic safety issues along the corridor.

Our assessment of existing conditions has included field observations and physical inventories; drone-based analyses; traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian data collection; transit activity assessments; crash assessments; intersection operation analyses; and public engagement and outreach.
