TRANSFORMING THE HARBOR PARK TUNNEL
Middletown has historically been shaped by our relationship to the Connecticut River. However, the construction of Route 9 severed the heart of the city from the river – the end result being that pedestrians must now walk through a long and poorly-lit industrial concrete tunnel to reach the waterfront. What if we could transform the tunnel, creating a destination that would draw people to Middletown, downtown businesses, and the developing riverfront?
