NEWPORT HARBOR WALK
Working with Newport’s Friends of the Waterfront, who have a public access and signage program underway, CRC/Sea Grant will assist in developing a program to analyze, map, and identify the opportunities and barriers to creating a seamless public access system along Newport Harbor, connecting points from King Park, the wharves along Lower Thames Street and America’s Cup Avenue, Goat Island, and the Pell Bridge. This study will utilize a public process to provide design recommendations, a short- and long-term action strategy, and potential funding mechanisms.

Building upon the accomplishments of Newport’s Friends of the Waterfront, which has a public access and signage program underway, the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center and the Rhode Island Sea Grant College Program is assisting the City of Newport and other stakeholders in the identification of opportunities and barriers to creating a seamless public access system along Newport Harbor. This system would connect points along the waterfront from King Park, the wharves along Lower Thames Street and America’s Cup Avenue, and Goat Island to the Pell Bridge and points north. Local residents and visitors in Newport are encouraged to go out and explore your Harbor Walk!
