Put on your walking shoes to help New Haven figure out how to make the changing landscape of the West River, Hill and Dwight neighborhoods more walkable.
City and civic officials have organized a walk through those neighborhoods — particularly where they meet around Route 34 — for Monday night. Everyone’s involved. The event will include “light refreshments” as well as a brainstorming session.
See the above flyer for details.
The Harp Administration has promised to take neighbors’ concerns — about walkability and bikability and “new urbanist” design preferences — as it decides the fate of the remainder of the 16.2‑acre median strip being redeveloped dividing Legion Avenue and MLK Boulevard between Ella Grasso Boulevard and Dwight Street. Monday night’s walk is part of that process.
Bring your flashlights and wear light-colored clothing!
Suburban rush hour drivers are usually in a "mood to kill", particularly on Mondays and Fridays.
