Dear Mr. Convissor:

This is in response to your correspondence dated May 26, 2015, regarding
the traffic signal on Route 9 at Route 448, Village of Sleepy Hollow in
Westchester County.

Under current policy, the detection system is required to detect cars
and motorcycles.  The existing equipment at this location is unable to
detect bicycles.  On June 10, 2015 the loop on Hudson Terrace was
repaired and is detecting traffic again.  If any sensors stop working in
the future they will be repaired or replaced as necessary.

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) will study the
signal timing at this intersection and make changes to the pedestrian
phasing/timing as needed.

All of the current crosswalk signs will be replaced this summer with
larger signs that include arrows pointing to the correct crosswalk.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel
free to contact our Regional Traffic Safety & Mobility Group, at
(845) 437-3396.

Sincerely,

William J. Gorton, P.E.

Regional Director
