Waterbury Naugatuck River Greenway Plan
Alta Planning + Design conducted a feasibility study for a 7-mile long urban greenway along the Naugatuck River in Waterbury, Connecticut for the Waterbury Development Corporation. Completed in February 2010, the project established a route for bicycle, pedestrian and trail access through the city, including shared-use path and on-street sections along with access points to the river at strategic locations. Key challenges included integrating trail-oriented development strategies, coordination with redevelopment of former industrial and commercial properties, and creating opportunities with limited availble public lands along the river. The feasibility study was funded with a grant from the local United Way chapter, and greenway development funding has been secured through federal funding.
The Waterbury Naugatuck River Greenway Routing and Feasibility Study is now complete.
