Infrastructure Investments in Sidewalk and Pedestrian Connectivity

Westport is investing significantly in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The Compo Road South Sidewalk Installation Project, 70% complete, will connect downtown to the train station and recreational complexes at Longshore and Compo Beach. Another major project pending is $10 million in sidewalk construction on Compo Road North from Post Road East to Main Street. Connecticut Department of Transportation plans 12 intersection enhancements statewide including traffic signal improvements. Safety improvements include rumble strips and traffic signal equipment upgrades. These investments reflect state and local efforts to improve walkability and safety in the community.
