Description

Possibly the worst Connecticut Department of "Transportation" blunder ever? The redo of this intersection created horrible traffic backups onto Sea St., extending as far back as Howard Ave. and 6th Street.
In addition, the multiple turn lanes, signal lights, confusing signs and crazy road striping appear designed to confuse drivers. I have witnessed several near head-on collisions from Southbound Blvd. traffic attempting to enter this octopus of an intersection. The pedestrian infrastructure is a joke too.
CT DOT forget about your little lines of paint; no one pays attention to them anyway. Please install some hardscape, that is, islands with curbs to slow and direct traffic. Millions of dollars spent and the end result is massive traffic jams and delays, on Sea St. and Howard Ave., car wrecks and destruction of property values in the historic City Point neighborhood.
