It’s expected that the State Bond Commission will approve funds on Friday to finish paving the walkway between Charter Oak Landing and the existing path that crosses railroad tracks.
Currently, a paved path connects that area to Riverside Park. The entrance/exit from Riverside Park is plainly visible, but the access point in the Sheldon/Charter Oak neighborhood is not immediately obvious, as the gate is almost always closed and signage pointing to the path is nonexistent.
A gravel and dirt path does link Charter Oak Landing to the paved area now, but this excludes park users in wheelchairs and those on bikes not designed for off-road use. According to a message from Governor Malloy and Lt. Governor Wyman, the improvements will be made to this already existing gravel path.
The Riverwalk South and Gateway project will be getting a $1.5 million contribution from the State.
The MDC is in charge of Riverfront maintenance, like clearing and salting paths.
