highway
Once thought to be the epitome of urban planning, the Route 34 Connector never completed its planned path as a highway to towns in the Naugatuck Valley. Instead it divided New Haven, separating the Hill neighborhood from downtown and the School of Medicine from the rest of the university. Now, armed with a fresh vision, New Haven officials are planning to fill in the highway and build mixed-use developments that include retail businesses, office space and housing.
My 2-year-old son would like to thank you for the wonderful photos in your Winter 2009 issue [“As the Medical Center Grows, So Grows the City,” Yale Medicine, Winter 2009]. He is a BIG fan of “dig, dig” and the ongoing projects at the medical center have given him much enjoyment over the past year.
