The plan to build a new Elmwood Community Center that would include the senior center, a library branch, teen center and more began when the town purchased the former St. Brigid School at 100 Mayflower St. for $3 million in 2021. Last August, town leaders announced they would be creating a West Hartford Center master plan that it would use as a guide to reconstruct and update roadways, crosswalks, intersections, sidewalks and other street features in the center of town. In April, Ledwith said LaSalle’s reconstruction would be first after the announcement that the road would be returned to its pre-pandemic two-way traffic set up. Final decisions on the road’s reconstruction would be considered by the town’s Community Planning and Economic Development and Public Works and Facilities committees. Construction, though, has been delayed from this year to the spring of 2024, meaning Farmington Avenue’s reconstruction would not begin until the spring of 2025. Over on New Park Avenue, drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists can expect substantial changes, including a road diet that is similar to the one implemented on North Main Street, bringing four lanes of traffic down to two lanes of traffic with a shared left-hand center turn lane.
