The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will present the Greater Hartford Mobility Study Thursday, Nov. 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the East Hartford Community Cultural Community Center, 50 Chapman Place.
In 2020, CTDOT launched the Greater Hartford Mobility Study (GHMS), a comprehensive study aimed at addressing mobility challenges in the Greater Hartford Region. The study recommends transportation solutions to facilitate economic growth on both sides of the Connecticut River and in the region, while improving public safety and expanding mobility choices to all users. The outcome of the study is a multi-modal transportation plan for the region, one which outlines a roadmap for future implementation of the various recommendations. The study is recommending four major components – pieces of an integrated system of transportation improvements. FMI go to hartfordmobility.com.
“These public information meetings for the Greater Hartford Mobility Study are one of the many ways we are reaching out to community members and stakeholders to both inform and gather feedback about each component of the Study,” said state Dept. of Transportation Supervising Engineer Kevin Burnham. “As the study enters the next phase of national and state environmental review, our team will also be highlighting early action construction projects that commuters and residents alike will reap the benefits of in the next five years.”
The study team open house starts at 6 p.m. with displays of the program’s recommendations, and to allow the public to connect with members of the study team. Immediately following the open house, the study team will conduct a formal presentation that will discuss the PEL study process, study recommendations, and the subsequent steps for the program. The meeting will conclude with a question-and-answer session.
Language assistance may be requested by contacting CTDOT’s Language Assistance Call Line (860) 594-2109. Requests should be made at least five business days prior to the meeting. Language assistance is provided at no cost to the public and efforts will be made to respond to timely requests for assistance.
