What's New?

Sharrows Installed in the Downtown

Sharrows are a new word for a pavement marking that indicates that drivers and cyclists "Share the Road". State law provides that the roads should be shared, and Sharrows help both users to be aware of one another.

Sharrows are installed where complete bike lanes cannot be installed for various reasons including:

Not enough cyclists to justify bike lanes;

•

Too expensive to install bike lanes;

•

Use of bike lanes would require loss of parking; and/or

•

Use of bike lanes would require road widening

San Francisco Study of 2004 study results show that sharrows:

•

Reduce aggressive motorist behavior;

•

Prevent wrong-way bicycling;

•

Prevent bicycling on sidewalks;
Improve the positioning of both cyclists and motorists on the street

Milford Trail

The Milford Trail is Completed!

What is the Milford Trail?

The Milford Trail is an important link connecting the Kensington Hike/Bike Trail to downtown Milford. This portion of the Trail takes users from the Milford dam, around Hubble Pond Park, over hills and through a densely wooded area to the YMCA. The route continues through the Y property, past the Library, along Commerce Road and eventually will link to the downtown districts' fine restaurants and shops.

The Village of Milford was awarded a $325,000 grant that was matched by private donations in the amount of $105,000.

The Milford Trail Committee---initiated by the Milford Downtown Development Authority---is an enthusiastic and energetic group of volunteers and should be commended for their success in meeting the challenge of raising the needed private funds.
