What happened
Public Works in Greenwich requested $799,200 to modernize traffic signals and improve pedestrian crossing and ADA access at a busy intersection. This project is funded through a 2026 Community Connectivity Grant, which was authorized by the Connecticut General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ned Lamont.
