As the CT Dept. of Transportation continues STATE PROJECT NO. 51-260<\/a>, the traffic signal at the intersection of Garden Street and Route 4 (Farmington Ave.) is seeking legal representation against the DOT claiming its being prevented from carrying out its duties.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“There are times that I may as well stay a solid red on the Garden Street side,” the signal stated, “because when I am green, either the eastbound traffic \u00a0on Route 4 is blocking the intersection or the traffic has piled up at the Epicure Plaza signal.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Local motorists \u00a0on Garden Street have also been frustrated about the signal’s futility, some claiming that they have to wait through multiple cycles before they can get on to Route 4 in either direction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I know about the Whistleblowing<\/a> law, too and I quote, ‘General Statutes \u00a7 4-61dd, any person having knowledge of … mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority, or danger to the public safety occurring in any state department or agency or in any quasi-public agency may disclose such matter to the state Auditors of Public Accounts.’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CTDOT has not commented yet on the lawsuit. \u00a0Construction is expected to continue through 2018.<\/p>\n
