Projects & Initiatives

Micromobility in Hartford

The City of Hartford is partnering with the Capitol Region Council of Governments to offer micromobility options like scooters and bikes.

Farmington Avenue Streetscape

The first phase of this project was completed from Marshall Street to the vicinity of Denison Street in the Spring 2016. In the Summer of 2016 and again in 2018, the City received Urban Act Grant funding in the amount of a total of $6 million to help complete the streetscape to its western limit at Prospect Street.

Citywide WiFi

The city-wide Wi-Fi Project is a city initiative to build a reliable, high-speed internet service infrastructure for all residents and small business in Hartford. It is designed to support education, telehealth, and small business. The goal is to enhance the city experience through digital solutions that bridged the digital divide and promote connectivity, sustainability, and mobility.

Slow Streets - Neighborhood Traffic Calming

In 2019, Hartford was named a winner of the Made to Move Grant Program in partnership with Blue Zones. The Planning Division has installed the first Bicycle Boulevard (in Hartford and CT), which will provide safe, low-speed facilities comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities.

Since that time, the City has evolved the program to support safer streets across neighborhoods.

State Project No. 0063-0728 Bulkeley Bridge Aesthetic Lighting

The purpose of this meeting is to provide the community an opportunity to learn about the proposed project and allow an open discussion of any views and comments concerning the proposed improvements. A Question and Answer (Q&A) session will immediately follow the presentation.

Goodwin Park Entrance and Maple Avenue Streetscape

The streetscape consists of replacing sidewalks, adding trees and replacing existing streetlight poles with the City standard decorative light poles, the streetscape will extend from Preston St to South St, both east and west sides. No road improvements are planned.

63-729 Sigourney Street Bicycle Facilities

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) and City of Hartford are collaborating on this project to improve the multimodal circulation along the Sigourney Street corridor between Farmington and Capitol Avenues as mitigation for the closure of Flower Street during the construction of CTfastrak.

Affordable Housing Plan

The City of Hartford’s Draft Affordable Housing Plan is a five-year strategy document that outlines the City’s current efforts related to housing affordability; assesses the city’s housing needs, opportunities, and challenges; and finally, sets a vision, goals, and specific actions related to housing affordability for the next five years.

Albany Ave Sidepath

The City of Hartford is exploring the potential for developing a shared use sidepath for pedestrians and bicyclists along Albany Avenue between Homestead Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue.

Main Street North Streetscape Design

The City is undertaking a design project that is the culmination of over 15 years of study for the stretch of Main Street from Earle Street to the Windsor Town Line.

Franklin Avenue and Maple Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project

The Franklin Avenue and Maple Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project will create a gateway into the Maple Avenue and South End Neighborhoods. It enhances transit access, streetscape amenities, and bicycle and pedestrian safety. The amenities and infrastructure improvements encompassed in this streetscape project include new sidewalks, ornamental streetlights, raised landscaped medians, etc.

Riverwalk Trail Extension

The City, working with Riverfront Recapture Inc., (RRI) successfully applied for federal Transportation Alternative funds, which are administered by the CT Department of Transportation.

Bartholomew Avenue Streetscape Design

The Bartholomew Avenue streetscape, or the “Parkville Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Stormwater Infrastructure & Streetscape Improvements Project”, is an infrastructure initiative that will enhance Bartholomew Avenue from Park Street to the terminus of the Avenue south of Hamilton Street.

Open Streets Hartford

The City of Hartford, in partnership with Hartford HealthCare, is developing an Open Streets program. This program will produce vehicle-free routes on 4-6 miles of Hartford streets to connect neighborhoods, people, and businesses in the city. Open Streets create healthy, safe, and fun environments by transforming streets into places to gather, bike, roll, stroll, and play.

South Branch Trail Extension

In the early 2000’s the City, with several stakeholders, developed a vision for a multi-use path to be located along the South Branch of the Park River, from Hamilton Street to Newfield Avenue. The trail will form an important link between the East Coast Greenway and the Trout Brook Trail in West Hartford.

Reimagining Main St - Streetscape Design

Re-Imagining Main Street was a comprehensive visioning process for reinventing Main Street from State House Square to the South Green Area (approximately 4,000 linear feet). Together, our community created a vision of transformation for Main Street in Hartford into a
great street!

City Plan

Fifteen years from now in 2035, our city will turn 400. What kind of Hartford do we want on that great birthday? And how do we make it happen?

Our plan is divided into five parts, each encompassing different but overlapping aspects of city life. Overall, ideas in the plan work to break down barriers, create connections, attract people, improve opportunity, and make our city fun.

Albany Avenue Streetscape Design and Construction

The Albany Avenue Project consists of operational, safety, roadway and streetscape improvements along the corridor between Homestead Avenue and Bedford Street (approximately 1.14 miles). This is a joint project between the City and CT Department of Transportation. Major construction began in June 2017 and is anticipated to be completed in Fall 2020.
