09/17/26 Fairfield Traffic Authority

The Fairfield Traffic Authority meeting held on September 17, 2026, focused primarily on traffic and parking issues within the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of signage installations for the Fairfield Public Library parking lot to enforce three-hour parking limits, and multiple crosswalk installations with associated pavement markings and no parking signs near schools and parks. The board approved motions to proceed with these traffic safety improvements, including a revised motion to incorporate additional safety elements such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and potential raised crosswalks, pending state approval for those on state roads. The meeting also addressed no parking designations on blind curves and discussed future capital improvement projects, such as a quick-build safety initiative at a high-crash intersection on Black Rock Turnpike, which will require further planning and state coordination. Additionally, the board discussed the need to revisit timed parking on Old Post Road near the library and the potential for flashing school zone lights, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance traffic safety and enforcement through infrastructure and signage investments.
