PRESTON — Residents can discuss a proposed Poquetanuck Heritage Trail connection at a public information meeting Thursday, November 5, at 6 p.m. at Preston Plains School, 1 Route 164.
The town’s notice identifies project 113-114 as a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail running from Preston Community Park along Lincoln Park Road to Lincoln Park Senior Housing. Residents, business owners, commuters and other interested people are invited to discuss the proposal.
A 14-day comment period will follow the meeting. The notice lists kwarzecha@prestonct.gov as the preferred email contact for questions and comments and links to the project plans and drawings.
The meeting concerns a proposed connection, not an announcement that the trail is open or construction is complete. The notice does not give a construction start date or meeting end time.
The park is in Poquetanuck Village between Lincoln Park Road, Route 2A and Route 117, according to Preston’s municipal facility listing. Its existing recreation amenities include sports courts and fields, a walking track, playscapes and a pavilion.
The notice provides 711 Telecommunications Relay Services information. It says language-assistance requests may be made at 860-594-2109, asks for at least five business days’ notice and says assistance is offered at no charge; readers requesting help now should contact the listed service about availability.
This report was prepared with AI assistance from Preston’s public meeting notice and municipal park information. The meeting notice was visually reviewed; the linked plan set was not fully reviewed, so no design details beyond the notice are asserted.
