CITY OFFICIALS SEEK PUBLIC INPUT THURSDAY AS THEY WORK TOWARD ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
GOAL IS TO IMPROVE CITY STREETS AND INTERSECTIONS
New Haven, CT – The city’s Department Thursday at which public input will he of Transportation, Traffic & Parking will host a community workshoplp create its first-ever Active Transportation Master Plan.
The goal of the event is to identify intersections and streets that need improvements for safety and walkability – members of the public will be asked to help make these determinations.
Areas identified will be included in the Master Plan. Six street improvement projects identified at this workshop will be rolled out across six neighborhoods in the summer and fall of 2019. Residents are encouraged to show up to make sure their neighborhoods are represented.
These improvement projects are a part of a larger plan to increase active transportation in New Haven. “Active transportation” means getting around in a way that is powered by human energy – walking and bicycling, which includes accessing public transportation. Those who live in communities that prioritize active transportation tend to be healthier because they’re more active in their daily routines and the air they breathe tends to be cleaner.
Members of the public are encouraged to participate in Thursday’s workshop:
“Safe Routes for All” Active Transportation Community Workshop Thursday, June 20, 2019 5:30-7:30PM New Haven Free Public Library, Ives Main Branch 133 Elm Street, New Haven, CT |
Residents who attend the workshop will have the opportunity to ask questions about the Master Plan, make recommendations, identify initial street improvement projects, and share their vision for future transportation in New Haven. Dinner will be provided for those who attend. Free parking is available four blocks away in the lot at State and Wall Street (10 Wall Street – Park New Haven lot).
Plans for this workshop are a collaborative effort by the City of New Haven Department of Transportation, Traffic & Parking, the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center, Street Plans, and Community Alliance for Research & Engagement (CARE).
