Derby Greenway Phase IIIA First LookThe firm of DeCarlo & Doll has completed a preliminary report for the Derby Greenway Phase III Committee with a focus on how the trail will eventually connect O'Sullivan's Island with East Derby. The long range plan is to extend the Greenway down along the east bank of the Housatonic River as far as Orange. They have developed a number of concepts for the committee to evaluate as they continue the planning process. Several options will need to be explored, but here are a couple of preliminary drawings to help visualize the type of structure that will eventually be built across the Naugatuck River in the area near the historic railroad trestle.
