Beaver Brook Boardwalk in MilfordSteve Johnson
MILFORD With the finishing touches still being put on the new Beaver Brook boardwalk, residents already are taking to it for evening and weekend walks, according to Milford’s Assistant Director of Public Works Steve Johnson.
“We probably have from one to two to eight to 10 people maximum at any one time,” Johnson said.
As work nears completion, the mayor’s office has been encouraging residents to access the boardwalk for outdoor hiking and walking opportunities during the coronavirus pandemic, he said. Since the 1,100-foot boardwalk is six feet wide, Johnson has been encouraging walkers to go in a counterclockwise direction, with everyone walking the same way to maintain six feet of separation. Walkers also are encouraged to wear masks while on the boardwalk, he said.
