Groton Complete Streets Advisory Committee - 3/18/26

The Groton Complete Streets Advisory Committee met on March 18, 2026, to discuss several ongoing and upcoming projects related to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the town. Key procurement-related topics included updates on the design and construction of multi-use paths, such as the project connecting Walker Hill Road to Pleasant Valley Road South, anticipated for completion within the year. The committee also reviewed progress on the River Road resurfacing project, noting a purchase order is in place for milling and paving work to address urgent road deterioration, with engineering design ongoing for long-term improvements. Additionally, the committee discussed the potential designation of a US Bike Route 1A through Groton, which could influence future infrastructure planning and funding opportunities. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded, but the meeting highlighted coordination with developers and town departments on capital improvement projects and the importance of community engagement in route planning.
