Traffic & Fire Alarm

The Traffic and Fire Alarm Division has very little public interaction. The Traffic and Fire Alarm Division is responsible for the maintenance of all City traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings. It is also responsible for fire alarms and downtown streetlights.

The Traffic and Fire Alarm Division is guided by state statutes and the City Council regarding the installation of lights and signs. It conducts a regular maintenance program for existing lights & signs and conducts research (counter boxes) for the installation of new ones.

Recently-completed and on-going Public Works projects involving the Traffic and Fire Alarm Division include:

Broad St/Gale Avenue/Ann Street Traffic Signal
Mid-State Medical Center (traffic light system)
Meriden Square expansion (traffic light system & coordination)
Lewis Avenue at Springdale Avenue Traffic Signal
West Main Street at Bradley Avenue Traffic Signal

Future Public Works projects involving the Traffic and Fire Alarm Division (traffic lights, signs, & pavement markings) include:

Centennial Plaza and West Main Street intersection improvements
Main Street and River Road intersection improvements
West Main Street at Johnson Avenue and Sylvan Avenue Traffic Signal

The most common question the public has concerning the Traffic and Fire Alarm Division involves the placement of stop signs. Residents are advised that the most effective way in implementing a new stop sign is to present the issue to the attention of their Councilperson.
