The South-Central Regional Council of Governments (SCRCOG) is inviting community members to help shape the Mobility for All Plan. This initiative aims to build upon the 2017 Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and other local plans to create a more vibrant, accessible, and connected bicycle and pedestrian network. A connected bicycle and pedestrian network links safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities to the regional transit system, enhancing connections to important destinations.
The plan will consider and recommend bicycle and pedestrian improvements to help address safety, connectivity, and infrastructure within the Region. Safe roadway design and infrastructure that calms traffic and supports active transportation (walking, bicycling, using a wheelchair or other mobility device) makes our streets safer and more accessible for everyone, in addition to promoting healthier lifestyles, reducing traffic congestion, and connecting people to jobs, schools, and essential services.
In June, the Mobility for All Project Team hosted a “visioning session” to gather insights on the challenges, opportunities, and ideas for improving active mobility in the region.
Residents of the SCRCOG communities—Bethany, Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, Madison, Meriden, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Orange, Wallingford, West Haven, and Woodbridge—are encouraged to take our survey at https://bit.ly/walkbikeplan to share their thoughts on enhancing safety, accessibility, and connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. The Project Team hosting a session in West Haven on Oct. 26, and in New Haven today.
Trunk or Treat Details: SCRCOG will have a “trunk” at the Trunk or Treat events in Meriden, West Haven, and New Haven to hand out candy and collect feedback from the public through a fun interactive polling activity.
