Town of Clifton Park
Town Center Walkability Project
At the September 5th Town Board Meeting Supervisor Barrett and the Town Board unanimously approved three projects that will dramatically increase safe walkability for residents around town. The new sidewalks and bike paths will be added to the 17 miles of new trails that have been constructed since 2000 when the new program began to build a trail network.
One of the major goals of the Town Center Plan was to make the Town Center and Exit 9 more walkable and connected for people who live in and visit the area. Several ADA accessible crosswalks have been installed in the Exit 9 area. The Town Center Walkability Project will now result in a trail/sidewalk system on both sides of Clifton Country Road along the entire length of the road. Clifton Country Road intersects the Town Center Area which will provide additional pedestrian access throughout the area. The Town will utilize funding by the Transportation Alternatives Program to help pay for this project.
