Of this upcoming dialogue, Mayor Martin said, “This is an opportunity for residents, to learn more about these important traffic calming measures and how they contribute to a safer, more connected community. Roundabouts are proven to reduce severe crashes common at traditional signalized intersections. This initiative reflects East Hartford’s commitment to improving roadway safety, easing traffic flow, and enhancing the overall quality of life for everyone in our town, so it’s important to be a part of this important conversation early on and become an advocate within our community as we move East Hartford forward.”
