The rail trail extension in downtown New Haven

As reported by the NHRs Mary E. O'Leary:

NEW HAVEN — A unique portion of the Farmington Canal Greenway got a public airing this week as the city presented options for the final phase of the popular walking trail.

Dean Sakamoto Architects presented three options for the mainly underground section from Hillhouse Avenue to the intersection of Grove and Orange streets.

Wow. Underground. That has got to be expensive.

Here is a map to give you a sense of the area.
