Your support of the trail has propelled us toward important victories in 2018, including:

  • The completion of the trail through Cheshire, creating a marathon-length continuous ribbon of off-road greenway from New Haven to Southington.
  • A bright and vibrant mural on the trail at the Hamden-New Haven border celebrating women’s empowerment and affirming the creation of an arts corridor in this section of the greenway.
  • A well-attended “Ride the State” event in June with CONNDOT Commissioner James Redeker.
    Breaking ground for construction of water access directly on the trail to support plantings in a bird conservation corridor in Newhallville, New Haven.

But we need to do so much more. Your gift to FCRTTA will:

  • Establish a signed route through Plainville, the last significant gap in the trail in Connecticut.
  • Push New Haven to finally build the last section of the trail down to its terminus at the Canal Dock Boat House on the Long Island Sound.
  • Enhance the trail through more art, signage and other infrastructure like kiosks, water fountains and repair stations.
