Dear Secretary Buttigieg,
The Town of Greenwich respectfully asks for consideration for a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program to create a Transportation Safety Action Plan.
Greenwich is a very diverse town in Connecticut that covers 67 square miles, making it the second biggest land mass for a municipality in Connecticut. With all that territory comes challenging roads to navigate for vehicles and even more so for pedestrians, bikers, and hikers. Moreover, the Town is comprised of very active residents who are looking for more and safer paths on which to travel. Cell phones and more vehicles per household make the challenge for safe streets that much more difficult.
A Transportation Safety Action Plan would help the Town create a blueprint for this and future generations so that they may enjoy our beautiful landscape in a safer, cleaner, and healthier way for all who call this wonderful town home.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Fred Camillo
First Selectman
Town of Greenwich
