NORWICH – The City of Norwich is attempting to make a safer environment for pedestrians walking along Broad Street and other busy intersections. At a recent meeting of the City of Norwich Common Council, aldermen discussed the possibility of adding additional pedestrian crossing signs to Broad Street.
“I’ve been approached two or three different times about why there aren’t more pedestrian signs on the crosswalks,” said Fourth Ward Alderman Walt Schermerhorn, referring to the pedestrian crossing sign on Broad Street, in the middle of downtown Norwich.
Police Chief Joseph Angelino explained that crosswalk is the only one in town that doesn’t correspond with an intersection. “It startles people from out of town,” he said. Angelino explained that initially the sign was placed at that location to replace the patrolman who normally directed traffic there.
