About the Study

In recent years, the City of Bristol’s West End neighborhood has
experienced a number of significant changes.  In 2006, the city began
to focus greater attention on the neighborhood and to consider ways
to stabilize and strengthen the area.  In 2007, the city decided that an
in-depth study of the West End was needed in order to better
understand the ways in which the neighborhood has changed and to
develop an action plan to revitalize and improve the neighborhood in
the coming years.  The study, which began in January 2008, will use
both professional expertise and neighborhood-based participation to
develop both a collective vision for the neighborhood and an
implementation program intended to guide future revitalization
activities there.  Partnering with the city on this study are
The Capstan
Group, economic and community development specialists, and the
Yale Urban Design Workshop, a planning and architecture firm, both
based in New Haven. The study is expected to take 12 to 15 months
to complete.
