A Current of Connection is Moving Through Hartford
The Hartford Riverlink connects North Hartford to Riverside Park and the Connecticut River over I-91. The completed Riverlink will improve the connection to the river through streetscape and pedestrian bridge improvements.
Under the leadership of the iQuilt Partnership and City of Hartford, Agency is working alongside TYLin, Langan Engineering & Environmental Services, Ummo, HLB Lighting, and CHA Consulting to improve the connection back to the riverfront through a new pedestrian bridge and streetscape. After kicking off with an existing conditions analysis this summer, the team is currently working to create three concept alternatives which will be presented to stakeholders this fall.
The Riverlink is part of a larger “Hartline” vision which seeks to foster economic development, enhance recreational opportunities, expand bike and pedestrian paths, and reconnect neighborhoods to each other and the river itself through a 6-mile linear park and trail.
Building on the great engagement work made by iQuilt Partnership and Riverfront Recapture, we will be doing engagement surveys and pop-ups this fall to listen and learn from the community – keep an eye out!
