April 27, 2021 - The Town of Coventry has a plan to extend the current sidewalk on Main Street from Hemlock Point Drive (past Ripley Hill Road and Coventry High School) to Cheney Lane and Lisicke Beach Park, a distance of about 2,000 feet.
The project already has a Community Connectivity Grant of $399,840 from the state Department of Transportation and additional grant funds are being sought.
According to Town Engineer Todd Penney, at virtual Public Hearing held on Tuesday April 27, 2021, the Town recognized the need to increase public safety as traffic volume and speeds increased. “We established a goal to balance the needs for sidewalks and our rural character, and developed a plan to interconnect our major schools and public facilities” he said.
