The Town of Stratford Greenway Committee made significant strides during their meeting on January 3, 2024, focusing on enhancing community connectivity through walking trails. A key highlight was the announcement of ten new walking trips funded by AARP, aimed at promoting active lifestyles among residents.
These walking trips are designed to encourage community engagement and provide residents with opportunities to explore local parks and green spaces. The initiative aligns with the town's broader goals of improving public health and fostering a sense of community through outdoor activities.
In addition to the walking trips, the committee discussed ongoing projects to expand the greenway network, which is expected to enhance accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists throughout Stratford. These developments are part of a larger effort to create a more walkable and bike-friendly environment in the town.
The committee's actions reflect a commitment to improving quality of life for residents and promoting sustainable transportation options. As these projects move forward, the community can look forward to increased opportunities for recreation and connection with nature.
