Groton Traffic Authority - 8/5/26

The Groton Traffic Authority held a meeting on August 5, 2026, primarily to discuss traffic-related matters including a request to install a no U-turn sign at the intersection of Long Hill Road and Bridge Street, a state highway. The main procurement-related discussion focused on a proposed multifamily residential development at 517, 529, 533, and 571 Goldstar Highway. The developer presented plans involving traffic signal improvements, new left turn lanes, and pedestrian accommodations. The authority reviewed a traffic investigation report and, after input from town planning and public works officials, voted to concur that the development would not have an adverse impact on the state highway system, effectively approving the traffic-related aspects of the project. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this meeting, but the approval supports forthcoming construction and infrastructure improvements associated with the development.
