Salisbury Pathways Committee agreed to recommend that the Board of Selectmen accept a $400,000 Connecticut Department of Transportation Community Connectivity Program grant for pedestrian improvements, while flagging that the town must fund preliminary design, environmental review and permitting costs.

The Salisbury Pathways Committee and its engineering consultant advanced design and permitting for a sidewalk and pedestrian bridge along CT Routes 41/44. Milone & MacBroom recommended the west-side (Concept A) alignment and estimated preliminary construction costs of about $250,000–$374,000 depending on crossing treatment.

After a year of meetings and a CTDOT Road Safety Audit, Salisbury Pathways Committee members say probing found physical evidence of a historic sidewalk along Route 44/41 and are advancing plans—using a $12,000 town allocation and potential town crew work—to reconnect Lakeville and Salisbury villages.
