“The purpose of this project is to construct sidewalks along Cedar Street to improve pedestrian accommodations and a continuous network between transit, retail, and educational facilities,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager Devin Racicot. “We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the design.”
The project is expected to involve right-of-way impacts through permanent easements for the sidewalk construction. Construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2026, with an estimated project cost of approximately $2.6 million, funded 80% by federal funds and 20% by state funds.
