WATERTOWN â For years, motorists have complained about how long it takes to get from one end of Public Square to the other, getting stuck at a traffic light seemingly forever and maneuvering through a series of traffic signals.
Well, the city and a traffic expert have been working on a wireless system that would coordinate traffic signals in and around Public Square to get traffic go through the area more efficiently.
Three years ago, the city obtained a $1 million grant from the state Department of Transportation the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program to reduce vehicular emissions in Public Square.
