For Mayor Roberto Alves, a multimillion-dollar project to improve downtown’s walkability is just one small piece of the puzzle to creating a revitalized city center. The city’s ongoing streetscape project could be that injection. It will enter its second phase, installing redesigned sidewalks, new landscaping and other features along the intersection of Main, West and Liberty streets, in particular. The project gets a reboot after it was delayed by state permitting. And it comes with an increased price tag. Leaders now expect the second phase previously estimated to cost $13.2 million to cost more than $17 million. The project, whose official title is the Downtown Danbury TOD Streetscape Renaissance Project, “is a key part of revitalizing the city’s urban core,” Albakry said.
