Chicopee Connectivity Plan

The City of Chicopee, in cooperation with residents, officials, and stakeholders, has designated community connectivity through green complete streets as a critical component of its first ever city-wide plan. In support of this effort, this report analyzes Chicopee streets to help identify which would be most suitable for connecting residents to a group of significant destinations around the city. Converting the streets identified through this multi-part analysis into green and complete streets will equitably enhance connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians in Chicopee, reduce the load on the city’s stormwater systems as severe storms become more frequent, and support the city’s long-term goal of reducing reliance on cars.
