Final Report – Silver Lane Corridor Study
Public Comment and Response Matrix (from 30 day public comment period)
Please contact Caitlin Palmer with any questions.
The Town of East Hartford was also able to take advantage of the timing of the State’s VIP (Vendor in Place) repaving opportunity to implement some of the recommendations from the study – notably a reduction in the number of travel lanes and lane sizes to incorporate a shared two-way left turn lane almost the entire length as well as wider shoulders where existing roadway width allowed. The full vision for the corridor would incorporate additional amenities particularly for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users but this is a great start! See slideshow below for a few before and after images.
About the Study
CTDOT and CRCOG have initiated a Study to evaluate traffic and development issues along Silver Lane in the Town of East Hartford.
The Study shall will address safety and congestion, transit system, pedestrian / bicycle mobility and assess travel demand growth and its impacts on area roadways including traffic associated with development of underutilized properties within the Study Area. The Study will also address intersecting side street approaches and access and egress to adjacent land uses.
The Study Area includes the corridor along Silver Lane (SR 502) from the intersection of Route 15 easterly to the intersection of Forbes Street, a distance of approximately two miles.
In addition to this transportation corridor study, the Town received a Brownfields Area-Wide Redevelopment (BAR) grant which resulted in a comprehensive plan of the Silver Lane Corridor while identifying and studying the redevelopment potential of targeted brownfield sites.
