The workshop is open to the public and will be held on Monday, August 12, 2024, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, at St. Joseph Church Hall, 376 Main St in Danbury.

This workshop will focus on addressing congestion and mobility challenges at the intersection of Main, Downs, and North Streets, as recommended by the I-84 Danbury Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study. The broader goal of the I-84 Danbury Study is to enhance mobility and alleviate congestion from the New York State line to Exit 8 in Danbury. Expected to conclude in Fall 2024, the PEL Study also proposes several non-highway and local improvements that will improve overall travel in the region.

This workshop will specifically address the study's proposal to improve sight lines, alleviate congestion, and enhance traffic operations and safety at the Main St/Downs St/ North St intersection, situated just outside downtown Danbury.
