Congressman Jim Himes And Congresswoman Jahana Hayes Bike Ride In Fairfield County To Promote Infrastructure Act
On Friday Jim Himes and Jahana Hays were joined by local officials and other cycling enthusiasts on a bike ride which began with a press conference at Roger's Park in Danbury and ended at Weston's Bisceglie Park. The mission of the ride was to bring awareness to the benefits of the newly enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) passed with the support of both members of Congress. They were joined there by CT Department of Transportation Commissioner Carlo Leone, and the Connecticut Construction Industries Association to explain provisions of the IIJA relating to transportation.

They made several stops along the 14 mile route from Danbury through Bethel, traveling along scenic Route 53 which winds past the Saugatuck Reservoir in Redding and Weston. Their first stop was in Bethel at Holbrook Farm Market, part of the small family farm which offers local products in addition to their own fresh produce, encouraging area residents to shop local and support Connecticut's farming industry.
After a brief pause at the Redding Roadhouse the next stop was at the Saugatuck Universal Access Trail meeting Redding First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton who joined the ride and where Himes was interviewed by News 12. From there the final leg of the ride ended in Weston at Bisceglie Park where they met with Weston First Selectwoman Samantha Nestor to continue the discussion on infrastructure and passive recreation.
