I have been using the Derby and Shelton river walks recently and notice people use TWO routes to get from the Derby river walk to the Shelton one. They either use Bridge Street which is not scenic or they use what seems to be an abandoned rail line that has a bridge crossing the Housatonic. The Derby river walk gives each access to both as a path leads to the railroad and the walk ends at Bridge Street. Now, it makes perfect sense to me to keep people off Bridge Street and instead of building a very expensive pedestrian bridge from Derby to Shelton use the existing railroad bridge that us just sitting there. However, I'd rather not be arrested for trespassing. I can't find any online resource that says you can use the railroad bridge or not. It sure sounds like a great way to connect the two without spending a fortune. Can anyone answer? Can this be suggested to the towns if it's not been already?
