Wolcott – Scoville Trail Extension Routing Study

Overview

In support of the Town of Wolcott’s proposal to connect the Woodtick Recreation Area and Scoville Trail to the Mattatuck Trail in the north, the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments has undertaken a comprehensive routing study. 

Through this collaboration, the NVCOG will develop routing options that provide a safe, continuous connection, and identify next steps and potential funding sources to bring this vision to life. 

This routing study, and the proposed trail connection, will enhance connectivity and recreation access to residents and visitors, furthering the NVCOG’s goal of providing safe alternative transportation means and access to our area’s spectacular natural resources.   

Public Involvement Process

The NVCOG strives to create a collaborative, accessible, and inclusive public involvement process. During the study, our team will use a variety of tools to engage the public in a dialogue regarding the future needs of the city and regional trail network.

We will conduct interviews with stakeholders, develop an interactive map, conduct public information meetings, and provide frequent updates via this website and NVCOG’s social media platforms. Additionally, all documents related to the project will be posted to this website for review and comments. All are encouraged to participate in this project. If you have a question or would like to provide a comment, suggestion or have an idea, please email Rich Donovan at rdonovan@nvcogct.gov.  

Public Meetings

Multiple public meetings will be conducted with the dual purpose of sharing findings and hearing comments directly from the community and those who use the corridor regularly. These meetings will be open to all members of the public, and all meetings will be recorded and published on the agency website. Virtual options will be available for meetings when possible to ensure the broadest participation.

The first public meeting was held in-person at Wolcott Town Hall on October 10, 2024 at 6:00 PM. This meeting included a brief introduction to the project followed by an opportunity for attendees to provide feedback on preferred design elements, routing options, and amenities. 

A second meeting was held virtually on October 15, 2024 at 6:00 PM.

Social Media

In addition to this website, we will keep you up-to-date regarding the project’s status and progress on NVCOG’s social media platforms, which include Instagram, Facebook, X, and LinkedIn.

The below schedule is current as of January 2025.

As study documents are completed, they will be posted here. Comments on these documents are always welcome by email to Rich Donovan at rdonovan@nvcogct.gov.
