This project requested TIGER funds to assist in constructing complete streets within walking distance of CTfastrak stations, supporting multi-modal investments CTDOT proposes to make in the five-year ramp up plan of LET’S GO CT!. Project elements in the City of New Britain, City of Hartford, and towns of Newington and West Hartford will collectively result in a number of benefits, particularly quality of life and safety benefits. A portion of this project also abuts North Hartford’s Promise Zone, a federal designation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development intended to support invest in communities to create jobs, leverage private investment, increase economic activity, expand educational opportunities, and reduce violent crime. The Hartford portion of this project also meets the existing limits of the City’s TIGER IV project.
