South Royalton, VT
AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2022
Project Category: Public safety interventions
Description: A crumbling railroad underpass was the only legal pedestrian route between two sides of South Royalton, but its dark, unsafe condition discouraged use. The project transformed the space with a colorful art installation, LED lighting and safety mirrors, making the passage safer and more inviting. Community events celebrated the change, which sparked interest in revitalizing other neglected areas. "Seeing the installation lit up in the evening has been a true joy," said a town administrator, reflecting the pride and optimism the project inspired.
