Sidewalk_Map.pdf

This file is a Sidewalk Map prepared by the Town of Berlin, Connecticut, depicting the town's sidewalk network expansion plan with connections to schools and neighborhoods. The map, produced in May 2025, illustrates existing sidewalks as of 2025 and identifies multiple funding sources and programs supporting sidewalk connectivity improvements, including the Connectivity Program Application, Carbon Reduction Grant Program, Connectivity Grant Awarded in 2023, bonding by developers, Newport Center Rail Trails in Connecticut, and the Community Challenge Grant from 2023. The map displays key municipal facilities including Train Station, Town Hall, Griswold Elementary School, McGee Middle School, Berlin High School, Willard Elementary School, and Hubbard Elementary School, with sidewalk coverage indicated across the town's grid network. The map provides a visual reference at a scale of 0 to 10.5 miles and serves as the inventory basis for real property within Berlin compiled from recorded deeds, plats, tax maps, surveys, planimetric maps, and other public records.
