WEST MAIN

Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) in coordination with the City of Waterbury, and the CT Department of Transportation, is studying the corridor of West Main Street from the underpass of Route 8 to the Waterbury Green. The intent of the study is to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities of this stretch of road to develop solutions that improve safety for all users including pedestrians, cyclists, public transit riders and drivers... West Main Street is a short corridor in an urbanized area that sees significant use. The block-by-block street character varies significantly ranging between two and six lanes, includes a variety of land uses, an incomplete sidewalk network, some street parking, several signalized intersections and difficult pedestrian crossings. This route also serves as the trunk for the CTtransit Waterbury Division bus system, with 18 buses at peak hour, making connections to nearly all parts of the system west of the pulse point..
