New Traffic Light Proposed At Westfield Intersection To Improve Safety

WESTFIELD, NJ — "Long overdue" safety enhancements and a new traffic signal is being proposed for an intersection in Westfield.

The Town Council passed a resolution supporting a grant application by Union County for improvements to the intersection of North Avenue and Tuttle Parkway.

Mayor Shelley Brindle called the safety enhancement at the county-owned intersection "long overdue" on Tuesday night.

"The town has long requested that the county analyze this intersection due to the number and type of accidents in recent years. They have agreed it is a good candidate for a traffic signal," said Brindle.

The resolution will begin the process of getting the traffic light implemented.
