Stamford - reconstruction of existing sidewalks and construction of new sidewalks

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2.5 million to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 12, 2025, for the reconstruction of existing sidewalks and construction of new sidewalks in Stamford, Connecticut. The funding was appropriated through Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending in fiscal years 2022 and 2024 (Demo IDs CT193 and CT206). This project falls within the FHWA's statutory mission to provide federal financial assistance for pedestrian and bicycle facilities, safety improvements, and multimodal transportation infrastructure across the United States.

CTDOT, serving as the prime awardee, sub-awarded project implementation responsibility to the City of Stamford through its Grants Office Division on July 8, 2025. The City of Stamford will execute the sidewalk reconstruction and new sidewalk construction work, which constitutes a pedestrian safety and accessibility improvement initiative consistent with eligible activities under the Highway Planning and Construction program. This project represents a direct investment in pedestrian infrastructure within the municipality, enhancing community mobility and pedestrian safety in the Stamford area.
