to Bushnell Park and the Capitol. DOUG SUISMAN, the project’s award-winning designer, says Riverfront Recapture started this transformation with the opening of the plaza connection to the river. Since then, he wrote, “the tide has turned toward making downtown walkable, livable, and sustainable.” It won’t end there. Possibilities include riverwalk connections to other communities, more park enhancements, and additional programming. And changes such as these will bring a new wave of impressive results. Key to the Riverfront’s success is a partnership that’s recognized as a national model for parks management. Riverfront Recapture coordinates design and construction of parks along the Connecticut River and manages the completed parks for the City of Hartford and the Town of East Hartford. With the Metropolitan District Commission, we oversee MDC crews’ daily maintenance of the parks and we administer a Riverfront Rangers program, funded by the MDC, providing a sense of security for park visitors. The management agreements produce a welcoming, wellmaintained park system along the Connecticut River that takes full advantage of this priceless natural resource. For that, we are deeply indebted to our park management partners: the City of Hartford, the Town of East Hartford, and the Metropolitan District Commission. Together, we’re getting great results.
