The Department of Transportation has released the results of their Red Hook traffic study. The key recommendation is for a traffic light to be installed at the corner of Van Brunt and Sullivan Streets. Other recommendations include "daylighting" the Van Brunt intersections at Wolcott and Coffey Streets to improve sight lines for motorists. "No Standing" signs have already been installed on Van Brunt between Wolcott and Dikeman Streets.
P.S. 15 Principal Kathleen Leonard welcomed the changes. "Our Safety Committee meets regularly with DOT to discuss traffic issues and this light has been on our wish list for some time. We're glad it's coming," she said.
DOT's statement says that upon approval of the recommendations, DOT engineers will need to evaluate placement and timing for the signals. That process will take up to four months. New parking regulations, however, will be installed by the end of January.
