Yes, it would be nice to have Delatour widen also especially in light of the new buildings cropping up. However the major area of concern is 155 where the vast majority of housing complexes are attempting to either get in or out of their roads and due to traffic are unable to. I know the posted speed limit is 40 on Delatour and assume it is on 155 - a road on which there are two high schools and kids walking! If they drove 40 or less there would not be a concern...but who drives the limit? Delatour is in bad shape but 155 is worse - it definitely requires turn off lanes and widening. I've written to the town, to Lt. Ken Pero and NYS DOT and received no response. The only response I've noted is a greater police presence, however it does not seem to have done anything about the speeders.

Watervliet-Shaker Rd. (155) needs to be widened to create turning lanes at the Delatour intersection. There should have been provisions for this at the time Shaker Pointe at Carondelet was approved.

Commuters speeding along 155, Delatrour and East Hills Blvd. is a definite problem that needs to be addressed. I see an occasional (Town of Colonie) speed trap on East Hills Blvd., but they seem to choose times (like 2 p.m.) when commuters aren't creating a problem. I'd love to see a couple of stop signs and/or speed bumps there.

Every work day I travel Delatour to 155 to get down to Menands where I work. Now with the schools opening and bus traffic added to the frey it will be even more difficult to get in and out onto 155. No stop lights to ease the traffic flow other than the one at Delatour. Now with the new housing added which will probably be for senior citizens it will only add to an already dangerous situation. Where was the planning commission when they came up with plans for Carondelet?

Considering the Town of Colonie does not uses application you really should close this ticket and contact them directly
