Mystic Streetscape

The Mystic Streetscape Project was conceived in the late 1990s as an upgrade to the sidewalks, parking and other accoutrements along West Main Street.  The project is part of a series of streetscape projects being conducted by the Towns of Groton and Stonington.  As a result of the fire of 2000, the project was expanded to include placing the electrical, telephone, and cable lines underground from the Mystic River Bridge to High Street along West Main Street. The sidewalks will be upgraded, signage improved, street furniture installed, some parking realigned, drainage improved, new streetlights installed, parklets developed, and the road repaved.

Additionally, sidewalks and streetlights will be replaced along Water Street from West Main Street to the vicinity of the Community Policing/Restroom building.  The street lights will be replaced with lights like those on West Main Street, but the utilities will not be put underground.

Newsletters describing project progress and other highlights, plans, schedules, and other information regarding the project can be accessed from this page throughout the construction of the project.
