Previous Jonah Center programs on biking and walking in Middletown focused on the multi-use trail from Wesleyan Hills to Wesleyan University and the need to develop a “Master Plan” for such improvements to city streets and sidewalks. 

This program will include priority areas of Middletown identified by the Master Plan; proposed routes to connect residential neighborhoods to the downtown area, parks, and schools; a new sidewalk along Saybrook Road near the Stop & Shop; proposed improvements in the area of Veterans Park and West Street; Safe Routes to School programs; results of a recent bike-pedestrian traffic count; and state-wide advocacy for biking and walking.
