In 2001 Project for Public Spaces developed a plan to make Farmington Avenue in Hartford a great place to shop, stroll and socialize. It was a concept plan for the avenue, with details to be worked out when the final design stage began. The City of Hartford began design for the first phase of the streetscape project in 2005. The concepts of the original Farmington Avenue Plan were used to guide the design but not all elements, such as roundabouts and a bicycle lane, were incorporated into the preliminary design.
