From NCAT newsletter: The City of New Haven announced a plan to complete construction of its network of proposed and existing greenbelt trails, including adding a new corridor called the Crosstown Greenway Trail. The network buildout is scheduled for completion in 2030.
According to the city: “The purpose of the crosstown greenway is to provide a high-quality, protected east-west route through the City. On its way, it connects several green spaces including Edgewood Park, the New Haven Green, Wooster Square, the future Mill River Park, and Front St Park. It intersects three other Greenways, and is within three blocks of the Shoreline Greenway.”
At a recent press conference, New Haven City Engineer Giovanni Zinn joined with trail advocates and Mayor Justin Elicker to announce the plan and share the Greenways 2030 story map, presenting the key features of the project. The story map site includes a survey asking active transportation advocates to prioritize design and construction of the five greenway trails.
The city wants to hear from the public at two public meetings, the first at the Barnard Nature Center on Nov. 13 at 6 p.m., and then at the Salperto building in East Shore Park on Nov. 20 at 6 p.m.
