Six SouthCoast cities and towns were recently awarded funding for new traffic safety measures, trail connections, bikeshare stations, bus facilities and areas for outdoor dining and community activities.
Dighton, Fairhaven, Raynham, Somerset, Swansea and Taunton were among 77 municipalities across the state that applied for and received a total of $6.5 million in funding from the Shared Streets and Spaces Grant Program.
The program provides technical and funding assistance to help Massachusetts municipalities conceive, design, and implement changes to curbs, streets, plazas, and parking areas in support of public health, safe mobility, renewed commerce, and community betterment.
“Shared Streets grants kept local economies going and gave the public options for safe travel and activities during the pandemic, helping all of us reimagine how we can share streets and spaces to stay safe and improve the quality of life in our communities, said Gov. Charlie Baker
