Grant to bring ADA-compliant changes to the downtown Winchendon area

WINCHENDON Residents can expect to see some big changes all across the downtown Toy Town area. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) recently announced the next recipients of the next round of funding from the Baker-Polito administration’s Shared Winter Streets and Spaces Program, which includes Winchendon. The town will receive $243,600 to create a safe, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant walking route connecting Murdock High School, Memorial Elementary School, Broadview Assisted Living Center and key bus stops to the downtown commercial district to include high-visibility crosswalks, safety beacons and new ADA-compliant ramps. “We’ve got a lot of sidewalks that are not ADA-compliant,” said Land Use/Planning Clerk Nicole Roberts. “What this grant is helping us do is to connect the area of sidewalks on north Central Street to the downtown area. It will also create safe passage for students who go up to Murdock and the (Memorial School).”
