New Westford Sidewalk, Pedestrian Crossing to be Funded by State
Those, and other improvements near Town Hall, will be paid for by state funds.

Westford is one of the towns getting state money for the Complete Streets Funding Program, officials announced Thursday.
The program awards $5.5 million to 15 communities. Westford will get $399,860 for constructing a new sidewalk along Main Street and Boston Road and a new pedestrian crossing to Town Common.
There will also be new curb bump-out to provide slow traffic at the intersection of Lincoln Street and Boston Road, and pedestrian crossing safety improvements at the entrance to Westford Town Hall, officials said.

“We are pleased to work closely with the Commonwealth’s municipalities to build vibrant neighborhoods and communities that have access to safe and reliable travel while addressing local infrastructure and development priorities,” said Governor Charlie Baker. “Through our Complete Streets Program, cities and towns are able to design and develop transportation projects that address their unique needs and help people using all modes of travel get where they need to go.”
Complete Streets Program requirements include, among other things, a municipality attending an initial program workshop and developing a plan.
