WESTPORT — Following on a campaign promise, First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker has organized a series of meetings with residents on traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety concerns.

Beginning March 17, weekly in-person meetings will be held in the Town Hall auditorium on Thursday nights, broken down by voting district.

The meetings will be done in coordination with the Departments of Public Works, Planning & Zoning, and Public Safety, Tooker’s office announced in a press release Thursday afternoon, “to discuss some of the concerns facing residents …. and the steps town officials are taking.”

“Having these meetings will provide an opportunity for residents of each RTM district to talk about problems they are facing in their particular area and ask questions about possible solutions,” the release said, noting that each meeting will also contain some broad information relating to the town.

“All interested residents are encouraged to attend the meeting specific to their neighborhood/district,” the release said. “They will have the opportunity to express concerns and gain knowledge about what steps may be feasible or are already in progress to help manage and mitigate traffic issues.

“Solving the traffic issues in town will not happen overnight, but these sessions are an essential first step.”

The meetings are scheduled on the following Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall auditorium:

• March 17 — District 1
• March 24 — District 4
