Lt. Governor Polito Visits Taunton

Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito visited Taunton yesterday to announce the new grant funding for the Complete Streets program. According to NBC 10 in Providence, Polito visited Lowell Street, which received funding back in 2017 and has Since expanded the program thanks to the administration. Polito awarded more than $400,000 to make city streets more accessible to walkers and bicyclists on Thursday. This new funding will be used in the Weir section of the city to add bike lanes and new parking spaces. They hope this will make it easier for people to connect with downtown Taunton. Since the program's start in 2015, it has helped more than 250 communities in Massachusetts.
