Throughout the summer, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to residents in the 149th district. One of the many issues that came up was the Glenville Corridor. In particular, addressing traffic congestion and making it easier for pedestrians to safely enjoy the neighborhood.
The Greenwich Department of Public Works (DPW’s) plans to begin the Glenville Corridor Improvement project this spring were put on hold after bids came in at a higher amount than was approved by the Greenwich Board of Estimate and Taxation.
I am pleased to announce, that with the help of our House delegation, I was able to organize a meeting this week with the CT Department of Transportation, our First Selectman and the Deputy Commissioner of Greenwich DPW. We are coming much closer to getting this vital project fully funded. I am continuing to advocate for additional sources of funding so that we can ensure that the residents of Glenville have streets that are safe for pedestrians and drivers alike. With the help of my colleagues, Representatives Arzeno and Meskers, and your advocacy, I think we can get this done.
I will keep you updated about developments on this key infrastructure project.
