Accessibility improvements along Greenwich Avenue are complete, and the Town of Greenwich will celebrate the work at a public ceremony on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at noon in front of Restoration Hardware at 310 Greenwich Avenue.

The event also marks the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into law on July 26, 1990. Town officials will attend, and residents are encouraged to join.

The town announced the ceremony in a civic alert published Monday, July 14, saying the upgrades "enhance accessibility for residents and visitors traveling through the downtown corridor." Greenwich Public Works credited its Engineering Division with the Greenwich Avenue ADA improvements in a May 19 post on X, though the town has not specified what physical work was completed, such as curb ramps, tactile paving, or signal upgrades.

Separately, Greenwich has been investing in other downtown accessibility projects that are distinct from the work being celebrated July 29.

In a June 16 press release, the town announced a $657,653 state grant through the Connecticut Department of Transportation's Community Connectivity Grant Program for ADA-compliant pedestrian signals and accessible pushbuttons at all four corners of the Railroad Avenue and Greenwich Avenue intersection.

In that same June 16 announcement about the signal grant, First Selectman Fred Camillo said, "Public safety has been my first priority since taking office and I have also worked hard to ensure that ADA accessibility is prioritized so Greenwich can be accessible to all."

DPW Commissioner Jim Michel called the Railroad Avenue signal project "an important investment in Greenwich's transportation network," noting that improving accessibility is a key priority in high-volume pedestrian areas near the train station.

Another related effort, the Railroad Avenue and Field Point Road Pedestrian Improvements Project, broke ground in spring 2026 with a $799,200 CTDOT grant and a projected fall 2026 completion, according to the town. That project includes new pedestrian signals, audible crosswalk indicators, and ADA-compliant curb ramps.

The July 29 ceremony begins at noon at 310 Greenwich Avenue. No registration is required.
