Published April 30. 2021 12:01AM The Day of April 23 reported the death of a woman in a crash “on Coogan Boulevard...near the intersection with Jerry Browne Road.” Locals can confirm that this is an awkward intersection as a result of adding the entrance to the Hartford Healthcare building. That created a four-way intersection best described as an X rather than a cross. At a hearing held as part of the development of the Perkins Farm property, a police officer reported that the volume of traffic at this intersection did not warrant traffic lights. Among others, I questioned his decision based on the increased traffic that was inevitable with the advent of Hartford Healthcare and the development of substantial residential capacity. I also pointed out the unique shape of the intersection was potentially confusing as traffic built up. I recommended that, at minimum, the police should review the traffic load once development was completed.
