West Hartford Speed Camera Hearing Is Tonight: UPDATE

Town of West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Speed cameras are coming to West Hartford's roadways soon, and the town is hosting a special forum on Wednesday, July 30, to let the public know what is going on.

The Town of West Hartford will host the first of two public information meetings on its new speed camera project from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight at West Hartford Town Hall, 50 S. Main St., in the auditorium.

There, VHB & VN Engineers will provide an overview of how they will create an "automated traffic enforcement safety device plan," solicit feedback, and answer questions.

To learn more about this project, visit https://www.westhartfordct.gov/town-departments/engineering/visionzero/speed-management-cameras.

Those who are unable to attend the meeting can email questions and comments to VisionZero@WestHartfordCT.gov.

West Hartford Community Interactive will air the meeting on their YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@whci.

A second public information meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 3, to share a draft of the plan and recommendations for the speed camera locations.

The meeting will be held in the Sedgwick Middle School auditorium, 128 Sedgwick Road, from 6 to 8 p.m. VHB will solicit feedback and answer questions at that meeting as well.

Electronic eyes are seen as a key component of West Hartford's Vision Zero traffic/pedestrian safety initiative.

The hope is that it will deter motorists from unsafe driving and aid police in enforcing traffic laws against those who violate the rules of the road.

Anyone requiring auxiliary aid or special services should contact Suzanne Oslander, ADA coordinator, at suzanneo@westhartfordct.gov or 860-561-7580 as soon as possible. Translation services to Spanish will be available.
