For a transportation project in New Fairfield to obtain a commitment of federal transportation funds, it must first appear on the HVCEO maintained list below.

This listing also assists local officials in tracking the progress of current improvements, and planning and advocating for future improvements as well.

FUTURE ROUTE 37: VARIOUS IMPROVEMENTS:
— Evaluate need for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection with Saw Mill Road, as recommended by HVCEO's 1996 Route 37 Traffic Improvement Plan.

— In coordination with the 2005 Center Area Beautification Study, consider the need to plan for eventually adding a turning lane on southbound Route 37 as it approaches the Route 37&39 intersection.

— In the future when intersection of Route 37 and 39 needs major upgrading, the 2003 Town Plan supports development of a roundabout to replace signalization. See background in the Route 37 Report.

--- In the New Fairfield Center Area make changes to both Route 37 and Route 39 in accordance with the 2005 New Fairfield Center Beautification Study.
