Work has begun on the town’s $10 million plans to reconstruct West Hartford Center, its bustling dining and shopping district. LaSalle Road, home to various stores and restaurants, looked a little different after the town took down 36 trees that lined the roadway, the first step in the planned overhaul of the corridor that will culminate in new and wider sidewalks, improved crosswalks, more street furniture and amenities, a mobility hub and new trees. Farmington Avenue will get that same treatment next year. West Hartford first announced plans to reconstruct its town center in 2022, dubbing it the “West Hartford Center Infrastructure Master Plan.” The entirely of the plan is being funded with federal COVID-19 pandemic relief funds. Work on LaSalle Road will continue throughout this year’s construction season. Next year, attention will shift to Farmington Avenue on a similar timeline. The town said it expects all construction to be done by November 2026.
