  • The Valley Now: a 2015 Snapshot 2
    Ansonia Beacon Falls The Valley Now: Derby Naugatuck Oxford A 2015 Snapshot Seymour Shelton About this Report For nearly 20 years, the Valley has come together to collect quality of life data throughout the region including the Healthy Valley Report in 1996, the Mt. Auburn Report in 2001, the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center’s Community Health Profile and the Valley Cares Report in 2010. Early in 2014, the Valley Council for Naugatuck Health & Human Services approached the Valley Community Foundation (VCF) with a request to fund an update to the Valley Cares Report. In mid 2014, VCF initiated community conversations to discuss the need for a common-source document which would expand the scope of Beacon the Valley Cares Report and provide a comprehensive review of Falls demographic, economic, health and education issues shaping the Oxford Valley communities. An advisory committee was formed in the fall comprised of key stakeholders and nonprofit organizations to discuss critical focus areas affecting the Valley community and to define the scope of a baseline report. VCF committed financial resources to support the collection of the data and the production of this baseline Seymour indicators report as the first step in its strategic initiative work. The towns of Beacon Falls and Naugatuck were added as a result of their interest in participating in this collaboration and their inclusion in the region’s recognition for the All-American City Award in 2000. These communities Ansonia were added to the five core Valley towns of Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour and Shelton. Derby This report represents the start of a multi-year process, which will culminate in 2016 with a comprehensive study on the demographic, Shelton economic, education, health and housing trends within the region.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), the Valley Council of Governments (VCOG), and Council of Governments of Central Naugatuck Valley (COGCNV) completed this study to evaluate deficiencies and define transportation improvement needs along the Route 8 corridor from Seymour to Waterbury just south of I-84 (Interchanges 22 to 30). The corridor for this Deficiencies/Needs Study spans the communities of Seymour, Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, and Waterbury. This report documents the findings of this study including the existing conditions assessment; future conditions analyses (projected to the year 2030) with no substantive transportation modifications; the improvement alternatives considered; and the final recommendations and plan of action for the Route 8 study corridor. The recommended plan identifies transportation improvements that may be accomplished in the near term (1-5 years), medium term (5-10 years) as well as those that may require a longer time frame (greater than 10 years). 1.1 Study Goals and Objectives Key underlying issues and objectives of the Route 8 Deficiencies/Needs Study include the following: Preserve the capacity of Route 8. The improvement alternatives identified for the Route 8 interchanges must preserve the capacity of the mainline. This requires careful consideration of changes to ramp merge and diverge locations, and weave conditions within the corridor. Address each interchange’s unique operating conditions and placement in the overall system. The study examined opportunities to improve safety conditions within the interchanges and to eliminate and/or consolidate traffic movements through them while maintaining access to the local communities and major attractions. Enhance arterial street system operations.
