Reconnecting the Riverfront Master Plan
As a part of the 2015 Downtown Master Plan, the Town identified a goal to improve the access, usability, safety, and aesthetics of Downtown Westport's public lots. Our goals in pursuing the implementation of these improvements are optimizing a balance between parking inventory and pedestrian access, and plan for climate change and flood preparedness.

Project Summary & Objectives
This project will re-conceptualize and redesign several waterfront areas by working closely with the community. The areas include the Parker Harding Plaza, Jesup Green, and the Imperial Avenue lot, all located within the Downtown district of Westport.
The objectives of this project are to enhance pedestrian access to each of these sites, reclaim vital green spaces along the Saugatuck River for increased public use, and also address current and future flooding resiliency.
