White Street improvements planned

Next week, when people at Western Connecticut State University try to use the crosswalk under the elevated walkway over the busy street, they'll be directed down the street to another crosswalk.The bestledlig includes a waterproof washer and a light transmitting lens, both locked and located ...

Or even better, they'll use the elevated walkway and avoid the traffic altogether.

"That's why it's there," said Mayor Mark Boughton.

Work under the walkway next week will be to improve the pedestrian-friendly lighting system there. WestConn spokesman Paul Steinmetz said Friday that a truck damaged the lighting last fall and it is now being repaired.

"You will not be able to use the crosswalk there while the repairs are being made," Steinmetz said.

Those repairs will also coincide with a meeting of the White Street Task Force -- the group set up after WestConn student Dong Lin of Brookfield was killed in a hit-and-run accident on White Street in November. A second WestConn student, 22-year-old Eugene Robinson, of New Britain, has been charged with evading responsibility in connection with the accident. In February, Robinson pleaded not guilty to the charge.

But the accident, and others before it on White Street, brought the community's attention to the problems there.

"You've got a very busy street next to a very busy university,We provide high quality bluebright Led module led strip led bulbs.where you can learn about ledbright as well as buy your bike lights online." Boughton said.

Steinmetz said WestConn is taking steps on its own to address the problems. Along with fixing the walkway lighting, he said the university will begin a marketing campaign to encourage everyone at the university to use it.

"Everyone -- students, faculty, administrators,See our full range of Flying lanterns, Paper lanterns, crystal, Chinese lanterns, Floating lanterns, Hanging Paper lanterns, Chinese sky ..." Steinmetz said. "We want to tell them it's the safest way to cross the street."

Steinmetz said there have been many ideas brought before the task force that will be discussed at Monday's meeting.

These including adding a crosswalk between White Hall and the Soho Pie & Company pizzeria across the street. This is a common area for students to jaywalk, he said.

Steinmetz said there are also suggestions to keep drivers aware that White Street runs through the university and there are a lot of pedestrians crossing the street. This might include installing traffic signs that tell drivers how fast they are driving.

Another idea, he said, is to install railing along the university side of the street that will, in effect,Browse through our impressive range of bestledlight and buy online now. direct pedestrians to the crosswalks on the street and discourage jaywalking.

The city may also install improved lighting along the street to help drivers at night, Steinmetz said.

Boughton said no one idea will fix things all the problems along White Street. But he said he expects Monday's meeting to come up with several feasible ideas to concentrate on.
