“Which, according to the New York State DOT<\/strong> (Department of Transportation), average annual traffic data has 3,000 more cars a day than what Barrett has. We’ll realign Prather Avenue to have a 90 degree angle connection with Baker and the same with the very end of Barrett to make sure these intersections are 90 degrees”<\/p>\n

DPW Director Jeff Lehman<\/strong> said the intersections were flagged as potential safety hazards, having been first constructed in the early 1900s for horse and carriage traffic. The project will be paid for with CHIPS<\/strong> funding.<\/p>\n
