The sixth phase of Brookfield’s streetscape project expected to cost $3.8 million. The town is looking to the state for help.

The sixth phase would extend the Still River Greenway to the north, with granite curbing on Laurel Hill Road and Station Road, including around 4,000 feet of sidewalk and two retaining walls. It will be the most expensive phase of the project and comes with a $3.8 million price tag, according to documents presented at the meeting. With the grant, however, the town would only pay $205,000, or 6 percent. A state Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LoTCIP) grant would cover remaining costs. The addition of a sixth phase bumps the total project cost from around $11 million to around $14.7 million, of which the town is covering less than $3.1 million, or 21 percent. Construction for the fourth phase of the project, which is now the second most costly phase at $3.6 million, has been slotted to start in the spring of 2023, pending state approvals. A LoTCIP grant aims to cover 87 percent of the cost, with the town paying $450,000. The fifth phase was supposed to start this past summer but continues to be put on hold as the town tries to coordinate construction with a new grocery store.
