The proposed project consists of improvements and repairs to the medians, sidewalks, site improvements and landscaping.

"These funds will significantly improve the Bridgeport portion of Brooklawn Avenue, an important gateway into our city," said Rep. Grogins. "I'm thrilled to have worked with Governor Malloy to secure this money for landscaping and road improvements along this main thoroughfare in my district. We have seen the results of this type of project just across the line in Fairfield. I look forward to work commencing on this important project to the City of Bridgeport."
The State Bond Commission is scheduled to vote on the item at its June 24 meeting at 10:30 a.m. in Room 1E of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.
