The light at the Mix St. - Maple Ave. intersection has not been working properly and causing increased congestion and lines of backed up traffic, as reported by citizens over the last week.

The Public Works traffic signal vendor looked at this traffic signal this week.
Bad News: The vehicle detection for the signal is not currently functioning, and the traffic signal is working on a time allocation basis.
Good News: The time allocation was adjusted manually to provide more green light time to Mix St. once Maple Ave. turns red, and the Public Works Dept. has issued a Purchase Order for a new vehicle detection component.

Before Bristol reset the timing, Maple had 18 seconds and Mix had 17 seconds of green. It was retimed to provide 20 seconds of green to Maple and 30 seconds to Mix.

Thanks to Dennis Rehmer, Alan Rudolewicz and several other residents who called to let us know about this misfire.

At this month's Bristol Fire Commission meeting, resident Kristen Labbe was recognized for her compassion following a motor vehicle accident that occurred on October 14th, at the intersection of Mix Street and Farmington Avenue.

Chris Hayden, one of the Bristol Firefighters on scene, noted that the accident involved a pickup truck carrying two passengers and an SUV carrying three adults and three children.

"During what was undoubtedly a frightening and difficult time for those involved, Kristen went above and beyond by staying with the family in the SUV and providing comfort, reassurance, and emotional support," Hayden wrote.

"What makes her actions especially meaningful is the attention she gave to the children and their emotional well-being. Kristen even went so far as to buy them ice cream to help brighten their day. While this may seem like a small gesture, it speaks volumes about her character and her ability to recognize when someone needs a little extra kindness."

Kristen Labbe was formally recognized for her actions, her compassion and willingness to go the extra mile - all of which are a wonderful reflection of Bristol All Heart values we want in our community.

Congratulations to Kristen, who is pictured here with her family, Fire Chief Rick Hart, and Firefighter Chris Hayden who nominated her.

Four years since the tour of duty was through
You've both given as much as anyone
Could be expected to do;

You both clearly gave it all
And through your selfless actions
Others will hear the call;

You are in the place of honor
Among those who have gone before
And know you are remembered
For now and evermore.*
