Town Advancing Crosswalk, Sidewalk Plan By Aaron Rubin Staff Writer MADISON
The town is moving forward with the Boston Post Road Crosswalk and Sidewalk Project, which will add sidewalks and crosswalks in the downtown and Hammonasset areas to connect commercial zones and major parks while boosting pedestrian safety. Part of the town’s capital improvement program, the $1.8 million project will construct a sidewalk running from the intersec-
tion of Surf Club Road and West Wharf Road along Boston Post Road, through Britton Lane, and ending at the Town Green. The new sidewalks will connect to a series of crosswalks along Boston Post Road. The goal is to provide “safe passage” from one major town park to another, said First Selectwoman Peggy Lyons. Next, the town will install extensive sidewalk routes along Boston Post Road in the Hammonasset area, providing safe, ADAcompliant pedestrian access to parks and
nearby businesses for those living in surrounding neighborhoods. “That’s a big commercial area during the summer,” said Lyons. “It’s very busy because of Hammonasset traffic, and then we also have a lot of people who live in Windermere and the new Wellington, and people on Cottage Road who like to walk to Salt Meadow Park or to Hammonasset. Now, there’ll be a safe way for them to do that.”
