Old Lyme Coordinating Project to Add Bike Paths to Beach Communities

Town officials in Old Lyme this week stated they are trying to coordinate the Sound View revitalization project, which will add bike paths throughout its beach communities.

The project calls for a bike path to run from Hartford Avenue, along Route 156, up to the Raymond E. Baldwin Bridge. A picnic area with permanent restrooms and parking spaces would replace the town-owned parking lot near the beach.

A federal transportation grant will fund 80% of the project's total cost.
