The state this past month granted Natick $55,000 through its Shared Streets & Spaces program.
Natick’s grant is to be used for creating a separated bike/shared-use lane by making use of the shoulders on a segment of Route 30 connecting the Snake Brook Trail at Cochituate State Park on the east (in Wayland) with the commercial Speen Street area on the west (in Natick).
The program provides “technical and funding assistance to help Massachusetts cities and towns conceive, design, and implement tactical changes to curbs, streets, on-street parking spaces and off-street parking lots in support of public health, safe mobility, and renewed commerce.”
Over the summer, Natick received funds as well through this program to expand outdoor dining.
