ANSONIA - The city’s new Riverwalk entrance on Pershing Drive will soon include a gateway frame assembled from restored original Wakelee Avenue trolley tracks.
The entrance frame measures 15’ height x 18’ wide and is being produced by JRD Restoration in Derby.
It will be topped with signage reading:
"Copper City Pass - Gateway To The Ansonia Riverwalk."
The original Wakelee Ave Trolley Line (1888-1937) traveled past the Pershing Drive gateway, up Clifton Avenue into downtown Derby.
If anyone is seeking a unique 4”x5” collectible or Christmas gift, the trolley tracks are also available for sale at Mayor David S. Cassetti’s office at City Hall.
