Brookfield may change zoning regulations in the hopes of securing state grant money for streetscaping in the Four Corners area.  With new leadership at the Department of Transportation, there's a new interpretation of whether feeder roads are covered by the LOTCIP grant. 

The funding would not include granite curbing, bus shelters, bike racks and other so-called amenities the town has installed along other portions of Federal Road. 

The Connecticut Post reports that th Western Connecticut Council of Governments suggested if the amenities are required in the downtown as part of the zoning regulations, then the state might have to cover them. 

The Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on June 13th at 7pm on the proposed amendment.
