. . State Planning New Signal For Sunset Ave., Route 611
FROM PAGE 8 Elm Street, the site of last week’s traffic fatality. While it is uncertain if the lack of a traffic signal or pedestrian crosswalk contributed to the accident at this point, Cimino said the intersection was targeted for a possible traffic light even before the collision. “The intent of the district is to get a traffic signal there,” he said. “We are still working with the Office of Traffic Safety and we will continue to have a conversation about a new light at the intersection. I’m hopeful it will happen in the future.” Cimino said he had visited the site of last Friday’s fatal accident and had seen the preliminary Maryland State Police reports, but had not seen a final report about the details of the fatal collision.
“We’re currently waiting on a final report so we can determine if the pedestrian was struck in the roadway or if the vehicle left the roadway and hit the victim,” he said. “But we’ve been looking at this intersection for safety improvements even before this incident.” Cimino said SHA is taking a blanket approach to traffic and pedestrian safety throughout the ever-growing, unincorporated West Ocean City area, and many different initiatives will likely come out of the various studies. “We’re looking at all of it,” he said. “We have a lot of irons in the fire.” Earlier this summer, Cimino and District Engineer Donnie Drewer told the Worcester County Commissioners SHA was starting a feasibility study for sidewalks in West Ocean City, particularly along the Route 50 corridor on the south side of the eastbound lanes. Cimino said this week that project is coming along with funding in place for a first phase. “Funding is in place for sidewalks from Route 611 to the Harry Kelly Bridge,” he said. SHA officials told the commissioners in June the sidewalk project would not need any funding support from the county, which would only be required to maintain the sidewalks after SHA installed them. While the funding is in place, there is no immediate timetable for the start of the construction phase of the project.
