Broad Street, Middletown
The Jonah Center for Earth and Art
invites the public to a presentation by the city’s Complete Streets Committee. After an introduction by Mayor Dan Drew, the
program will describe plans to make specific Middletown streets and
intersections safer and more inviting for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Previous Jonah Center programs on biking
and walking in Middletown focused on the multi-use trail from Wesleyan Hills to
Wesleyan University and the need to develop a “Master Plan” for such
improvements to city streets and sidewalks.
This program will include priority
areas of Middletown identified by the Master Plan; proposed routes to connect
residential neighborhoods to the downtown area, parks, and schools; a new
sidewalk along Saybrook Road near the Stop & Shop; proposed improvements in
the area of Veterans Park and West Street; Safe Routes to School programs;
results of a recent bike-pedestrian traffic count; and state-wide advocacy for
biking and walking.
For more information about the work of
the Complete Streets Committee or these programs, contact John Hall at
860-398-3771 or send a message from www.thejonahcenter.org .
