Engineering Firm Proposes 10-Month Traffic Survey in Morristown

MORRISTOWN, N.J.– An international consulting, engineering and design firm will be conducting a traffic survey in Morristown, officials said.

The survey will be used to "study and analyze the municipality’s mobility patterns and improvement needs, with the end goal of alleviating congestion, improving safety and developing strategies for future growth," according to Direct Development Public Relations Coordinator Susie Sefcik. "The objective of the study is to identify the flow of all forms of transit throughout Morristown’s roadways and issue recommendations to address the need for improved efficiency and safety."

The town council unanimously awarded the survey contract to Arup, which proposed a 10-month project, according to Sefcik.

"This mobility study is essential to the future health and stability of our great town, said Mayor Timothy Dougherty. "It is not just aimed at enhancing convenience and travel times, but will benefit Morristown’s residents and visitors today and into the future by reducing congestion and improving safety for pedestrians,
cyclists, and drivers. The results of this study will serve as the blueprint for infrastructure improvements that will allow our community to continue to thrive and be the location of choice for business and
residents alike.”
