Description

It would be excellent if this area could become more open to public and cleaned up.
People fish here all the time but they have to enter from behind the rink because there is a fence on State Street.

I agree, great idea! In fact, there is a required (sate DEP or city?) set back greenway access to all major water courses in the city. Some parts of this are partially developed for recreational access, others not at all. I would be far from the first person in New HAven to promote a vision for an interconnected web of trails and access to nature and water that would connect the whole city and beyond. Developing this one spot would be a GREAT place to put in some effort.

Nate, might there be some grant money that the city could go for to provide improvements to this area in conjunction with the bridge improvements?

I suspect there is, Ben. I would also be curious as to what City Plan has in mind for this neck of the woods.

Where would one search for that type of thing.

Parks Department just cleaned up all the weeds an overgrowth next to the Ice Skating Rink.
There will be a community clean-up of the area on Saturday November 22'nd.

Does anybody have an interest in picking up the ball on working with the city to create a park here?

Ben,
I would like to be involved, I will be away for four weeks. The bridge is not going ahead very fast. Could you send me an email with all the contacts, I will work on it.

I would be interested in at least helping to convene some interested folks. FERP would be an idea group to contact for possible interested parties, as well as New Haven Land Trust.

Love to, Ben. And would love to connect on other emerging matters as well. All connected of course. Early next week might be ideal.

Great. Do you want to start the conversation tomorrow over tree planting at Humphrey and State?

With the bridge reopening in the Fall and the story of the Robby Len building redeveloping I think we have more cause for examining this space: http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/swimsuit_factory_reborn_as_work-out_mecca/

We are trying to delineate issues that are current and need the city's attention to resolve. Any issues prior to 2013 are being closed. If your issue remains and needs to be addressed by the city, please either re-open or open as a new See Click Fix issue. Thanks.

Definitely want this to stay open. It feels like progress is finally being made towards reclaiming this area for water access.

The City has received a grant from the State to start a trail here!!

Additionally the District development at James street now includes a plan for a canoe launch and trail!

The trail
Has started at The District. Curious when trail construction will start at State Street.

Happy to say that there are plans for trail construction to potentially start here in the spring. Rumors of a mural and possible skatepark are also in the works!

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
