City to Showcase Willow Brook Park Pedestrian Safety Improvements and Announce Plans for Other City Parks

The office of New Britain Mayor Bobby Sanchez (D) says that the Mayor, joined by representatives of the city Department of Public Works, NB Soccer Club head Chris Cartelli, other city officials and community members will showcase pedestrian safety and traffic calming improvements at Willow Brook Park and discuss future plans for other city parks.

Future pedestrian safety improvements are planned for AW Stanley Park, Stanley Quarter Park, and Walnut Hill Park, the Mayor’s office said.

The improvements are part of the City’s Pedestrian Safety and Traffic Calming Plan, which the Mayor’s office says is,”a series of enhancements at parks across New Britain, including new sidewalks and walking paths, raised crosswalks, traffic-calming measures such as speed humps, improved parking configurations, and redesigned park entrances.”

“These improvements are designed to reduce conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, increase accessibility, and create safer connections for residents and visitors,” the Mayor’s office said.

The showcase and announcement is planned for November 12th at 10:00am at Willow Brook Park near the parking lot by the tennis courts.
