Pequonnock Trail Info Session Jan. 9 at Town Hall

Learn more about the planned extension of the Pequonnock River Trail Tuesday, Jan. 9, at 7 p.m. in Trumbull Town Hall.

The state Department of Transportation is hosting the session, which will begin with an informal question and answer session at 6:30 p.m. and the formal design presentation at 7 p.m..

The proposed project would continue the Pequonnock River Trail from Route 127 across the Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) Corridor to Quarry Road.

"This will enhance continuity with the existing bicycle trail system throughout the state and provide an alternative to motor vehicle transportation," according to a DOT press release.
   
This project calls for a 4,500 foot long multi-use trail from White Plains Road to Quarry Road, with  a crosswalk on Route 127 from Twin Brooks Park to allow trail users to cross the road.

Construction of the $3.5 million project, 80 percent of which will be paid by federal funds, is expected to begin in the spring.
