Monroe County Executive Adam Bello is asking residents to take extra precaution when traveling after a series of severe storms impacted parts of Monroe County throughout the day, resulting in power and traffic signal outages. Approximately 18,000 Monroe County residents are currently without power. Rochester Gas and Electric, National Grid and Fairport Electric are working to restore outages.
Residents should treat all dark traffic signals and intersections as all-way stops and ensure traffic is clear before proceeding. The Monroe County Department of Transportation and Monroe County Office of Emergency Management are working with the New York State Department of Transportation, local law enforcement and emergency response agencies, RG&E, National Grid and Fairport Electric to coordinate restoration to effected areas.
“All residents should avoid unnecessary travel through portions of Monroe County that have been impacted by the severe storms that touched down earlier today. Local residents should continue to monitor local television and news outlets for updated information,” said County Executive Bello. “We will continue to work with local government partners, emergency response agencies, local law enforcement and our utility providers to updates as they are available and ensure resident and motorist safety.”
