 During the first five months of this year, there were more than 470 crashes involving pedestrians in Connecticut, according to the University of Connecticut's crash data repository. Lawmakers say the federal funding will support life-saving infrastructure upgrades. Two million dollars will be spent on a study to determine a bicycle and pedestrian route on the Berlin Turnpike. Nearly six million dollars will go toward closing a 16-mile gap in the Naugatuck River Greenway Trail.
