Alta Planning + Design with subconsultants Fuss & O'Neill, are conducting a feasibility study for a 7-mile urban greenway along the Naugatuck River in Waterbury, Connecticut for the Waterbury Development Corporation. The project aims to establish 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 is funded with a grant from the local United Way chapter, and greenway development funding has been secured through federal funding.
