NVCOG endorses two DOT projects — I‑84 drainage study and District 1 signal replacements (Resolution 2605)

NVCOG reviewed and endorsed two MPO projects brought forward by regional transportation staff. The first project (Project 96212) is a drainage asset study along Interstate 84 to evaluate existing conditions and drainage capacity in Middlebury, Southbury and Newtown; staff said the study responds to Executive Order 213 on resilience. The second project is a District 1 traffic signal replacement and maintenance program that will update roughly 20 traffic signals regionwide, with two identified intersections in the NVCOG region at Route 69 and Munson Road and Route 69 at Route 322.

The presenter (speaker 5) said both projects will be funded with federal formula Protect funds. NVCOG moved to adopt Resolution 2605 endorsing both projects; the board approved the resolution by voice vote. The meeting record shows the motion and second and the chair declared the motion carried.

The resolution endorsement allows project sponsors to move ahead with the DOT procurement and design steps required for implementation, subject to normal DOT programming and funding processes.
