Description

The City is considering converting several downtown one-way streets to 2-way streets. To gather community input, they are hosting several meetings (a.k.a. "charrettes") next week. Info below:

From October 21st to October 24th, the City of New Haven will be gathering public input surrounding the possible conversion of one-way streets to two-way streets in Downtown New Haven. Public input will be gathered at a design "charrettes" - a series of meetings at which various stakeholders are brought together for focused planning and design work.

The City has not made a decision to either keep certain downtown streets one-way or to convert them to two-way and that the point of the charrette-- to gather as much public input as possible.

The charrette will kick off at 6:30pm on Monday, October 21st at the New Haven Free Public Library at 133 Elm Street with a project overview and educational session. While residents can stop in at any point during the charrette to provide input or ask questions, the "Hands on Design Sessions" are the ideal opportunity to take part in the design process.

On Tuesday, October 22nd, two Hands on Design Sessions will be held. The first will be at 10am at the lower level of the New Haven Free Public Library at 133 Elm Street. The second will be held at 6:30 pm at the Chapel West Special Services District office 1205 Chapel Street.
