Fairfield Delegation Secures Funds on Upcoming Bond Agenda

July 26, 2022
I am happy to announce that the community bonding requests put forward by State Representative Cristin McCarthy Vahey (D-Fairfield) and I, along with the support of State Senator Tony Hwang– totaling $3.75 million – have been placed on the State Bond Commission's agenda by the Governor.

Fairfield will receive $1.75 million for bike and pedestrian safety improvements on Route 130 between Shoreham Village Road and the Post Road Circle and $2 million for pedestrian safety and ADA improvements to the intersections at Churchill Road and Wilson Street, and Route 59 and Churchill Road in Stratfield.
I am thrilled that these projects were included on this month's agenda. My colleagues and I have worked tirelessly to secure this funding, and our community will be much safer because of it. 

In addition to increased safety, the improvements to be made with this anticipated funding will also also increase connectivity and walkability between the Post Rd traffic circle and the neighborhoods and businesses along Rt. 130 leading to the Black Rock neighborhood.

I’m excited about the benefits this funding brings to our community. I will continue to fight for additional funding to support the exciting proposed work to improve the safety and flow of the Post Rd. traffic circle. This funding is only the first piece of that greater vision.

The State Bond Commission will vote on these funds on Friday, July 29 at 10:30 am. Visit CT-N if you would like to watch live. You can read the press release here.
