Description

Something needs to be done with the traffic light timing at the intersection of Sargent Drive and I-95 South Entrance/Exit Ramp. I realize that the Long Wharf revitalization project has to get worse before it gets better, but now that there is only one lane going Eastbound on Sargent Drive, the area between Jordans Furniture to Church Street is utter chaos and gridlock every weeknight between 4:45 to 5:30 PM. I respectfully request that someone from the City take a ride down to witness it themselves. The lights at Long Wharf and Sargent cannot accommodate the traffic gridlock caused from lane closures on Sargent and Long Wharf Drive. The lights at Regional Water Authority and I-95 cannot accommodate the gridlock. Traffic is backed up getting onto 95 South, Getting off 95 South, and backing up from Sargent Drive to Long Wharf Drive going East Bound past Veterans Park to enter I-95 North. Please please please. I beg you to do something to alleviate this mess. When the lights turn green only one or two cars can get through and the intersection "boxes" gets blocked. The green turn lights need to be lengthened. There needs to be a turn lane added back to I-95 South Entrance Ramp. Please and Thank you.
