The purpose of this Study is to identify feasible improvements for the Connecticut Avenue and Stratford Avenue Corridor that will increase safety for all modes, reduce traffic congestion and accommodate bicyclists, pedestrians and transit users. Viewed from west to east, the study area will concentrate on the Connecticut Avenue and Stratford Avenue Corridor as it extends from the paired origin of these two roadways at Seaview Avenue to their terminating confluence at the Bridgeport/Stratford border. The study’s core focus is on the Stratford Avenue/Connecticut Avenue corridor with consideration of the major north-south routes -- Seaview, Central and Bishop Avenues -- as well as of the lesser north-south routes - Newfield, Bunnell, Union, and Hollister – along with the important east-west routes of Beardsley and Orange.
