This MQP team collaborated with the Connecticut Department of Transportation to provide recommendations for improving Route CT-156 in East Lyme, Connecticut. Existing conditions of the corridor were documented, including curb ramp components, street layout, Complete Streets characteristics, and crash data. Improvements to the corridor included revising sidewalk accessibility to meet Americans with Disabilities Act regulations and incorporating bike paths in the street redesign. AutoCAD and Streetmix were used to finalize and present the recommendations.
