State officials are planning changes to the Bishops Corner intersection at North Main Street and Albany Avenue, citing that the area is “unfavorable for pedestrian travel.” The state’s efforts to improve pedestrian safety in West Hartford comes as the town embarks on its own Vision Zero process to do the same. The town took the Vision Zero pledge in January after experiencing six roadway deaths — three of those being pedestrians who were struck by cars — in 2022. Vision Zero looks to eliminate all roadway fatalities and serious injuries within the next 10 years. The estimated cost of the Bishops Corner intersection overhaul is $5,585,050, the state said. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2025. Funding is expected to be made up of 80 percent federal funding and 20 percent state funding.
