The West Hartford project is expected to “create a more efficient, pedestrian-friendly, and visually appealing environment,” according to the town. “The work will include roadway resurfacing, new granite curbing, widened concrete sidewalks, decorative street lighting, traffic signal modifications, landscaping with engineered tree pits, raised crosswalks, and site furniture/amenities.” Additionally, trees in poor condition will be replaced by native species using eco-friendly soil cell technology, and shrubbery will be planted to improve the cityscape, according to the town. Businesses will remain open through construction, according to a statement. The project is expected to maintain pedestrian access and keep traffic moving smoothly.
