Towns officials are preparing to implement a number of traffic and pedestrian safety upgrades, with the first expected to begin next week. East Haven announced Monday it received $4.8 million in competitive Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program funds from the state Department of Transportation, which will be applied to paving Main Street from Town Hall to the New Haven line and paving Messina Drive from Hemingway Avenue to Main Street, plus the addition of a new traffic signal light on Messina Drive, new sidewalks and improved street lighting. The town is currently completing an environmental review and traffic study for the LOTCIP project, which will lead to the final design phase before construction. In a Monday statement, Carfora said the Main Street and Messina Drive project “represents a major investment in our community’s infrastructure and safety.”
