Local Residents Petitioning for Sidewalks to Make Community Safer

The intersection of Williams Street East and Willieb Street heading north on Williams Street to the intersection of New London Turnpike is a heavily traveled route by Glastonbury Town residents on foot and in vehicles. The lack of a sidewalk connecting Willeb, Williams Street East and New London Turnpike puts those Glastonbury residents on foot at risk and maintains an ongoing dangerous condition.

Therefore, to allow for safe pedestrian traffic walking to and from the Stop & Shop super market, CVS drug store, other retailers nearby, and to the center of town – residents of The Soap Factory, English Hill, and Hubbard Run Condominium Associations, Buttonball Street, Hubbard Street, Willieb Street, Williams Streets East and West, Main Street and other residents in this area, including Glastonbury Magnet and High School students (well over 400 town residents living within 2 square blocks of the petitioned sidewalk area) and all undersigned are formally petitioning the Town of Glastonbury to provide a sidewalk from the intersection of Williams Street East and Willieb Street heading north on Williams Street to the intersection of New London Turnpike and that it be included in the 2014-2015 capital budget and planned for completion in 2014.
