Manchester and South Windsor are two of the 17 towns that will receive transportation grants from the state of Connecticut. Gov. Ned Lamont announced last week $11.7 million in state grants to 17 towns and cities across Connecticut for projects designed to improve transportation safety and accessibility, under the Community Connectivity Grant Program. Manchester officials plan to install additional sidewalks in the area of Keeney Street with the $800,000 they received through the program. The project would extend the existing sidewalk along Keeney Street on both sides of the road, between the Garden Grove Road/Nutmeg Drive intersection and the Bush Hill Road intersection. South Windsor will use its $800,000 to fund part of its Crosstown Trail project, a 6.2-mile multi-use trail that will help pedestrians and bicyclists travel safely around town.
