Quennell Rothschild & Partners developed a master
plan for this historic park, with specific proposals for
restoration, and management and fund-raising strategies to
implement the proposals. QRP worked closely with city, state
and federal agencies, and led a public outreach program to build
support for the plan.
Improvements included redesigning the main bus
transfer hub for New Haven's surface transit system, narrowing
Temple Street, which bisects the park, to provide bus waiting
areas, and creating historically appropriate bus stop shelters.
The renovation plan included new lawns and walks, and
entry plazas, an extensive planting plan, which restored
the historic elm tree arcade at the park's perimeter, and new
lighting system. The firm supervised the complete phased
implementation of the plan, and all the projects in the firm's
plan have been completed, returning the Green to is place as the
city's civic center.
