• Town To Redo East Avenue Sidewalks; Seeking State Grant on Estimated $1 Million Project (newcanaanite.com) — New Canaan officials are moving ahead with plans to overhaul the heavily used East Avenue sidewalk from downtown to Route 123, aiming to widen and improve safety along the deteriorating stretch.
