Project Status

July 16, 2007

Construction of sidewalks along the entire length of Wilton Boulevard and Old Forge Road, as well as the portion of Appleby Road between Wilton Boulevard and SR 273, began in June 2004 and was completed in May 2006.

The improvements provided more than two miles of continuous sidewalk for better pedestrian access from residential communities to local retail centers. Improved transit facilities, including bus pads and shelters along with improved crosswalk signing and striping, provide for safe and efficient access to bus stops. In addition, minor widening and restriping of roadways to delineate bicycle access encourages multimodal use.

Public Workshop

March 25, 2002

Fifty-seven residents of the communities throughout the Route 40 corridor attended a workshop held on Monday, March 25, 2002 at Hodgson Vocational-Technical High School. Attendees had the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed sidewalk layout along Appleby Road, Wilton Boulevard and Old Forge Road. The sidewalks along Old Forge Road were presented as an optional addition to the project. Based on public feedback from this workshop, Old Forge Road sidewalks were added to the project.
