These buildings are no longer here; not sure how the address changes here but this part of Water St. is under redevelopment: https://nvcogct.gov/project/current-projects/brownfields/199waterstreettorrington/

Durst Road is open to public access, specifically pedestrian & bicycle ingress and egress at both ends (Eno Hill Rd at the west and Hogback Rd at the east via open gate). Motor vehicles are permitted access at Eno Hill Rd to the parking area just west of the Goodwin Dam (north side of Durst Rd).

When I visited the dam this past Monday, there was a sign posted at the west end of Durst road that the bridge across the dam is closed. I didn't get a chance to confirm whether it was or not, but access to the parking lot with the boat launch is still good.

This intersection was recently redesigned. Now, Bridge street headed south turns into Prospect street (the center line follows it), Bridge Street south of Prospect and Depot street is one way (only south traffic). I'll get a picture at some point soon.

The City of Torrington is doing a revitalization project; right now a contractor has taken up the tracks and installed a platform and a canopy structure along the right of way. Soon they will re-install the tracks, and this area will be used once again for NAUG excursion trains as a drop-off point for local breweries and events at the Warner. Once construction is completed it would make sense to update this general area with the size of the parking lot and such.

Additionally, on the north side of Church Street, there is a project to install a walking trail and more parking which I believe has been bid on according to Torrington's press release office.

This area with the walking trails west of the Leadmine brook and east until the ball fields is all part of a park of some sort. There are also some portions of a park that border Roarback on the far side of the Leadmine brook from this side. I think the town of Harwinton owns it.

This building has been moved to the location indicated to the south-west, on the middle fork just past where the three way fork in the road occurs.
