A group of residents has created a petition outlining their concern over the impact the proposed mixed-use residential development at the former University of Connecticut campus would have on existing wetlands and the town. Proposals for 1800 Asylum Ave. — the western side of the property — do call for the construction of six buildings plus additional townhouses that would line Asylum Avenue and Lawler Road. All of that would be surrounded by parking lots. Developers do intend to leave green space open, including a recreational lawn alongside Trout Brook Drive, a woodland trail behind the property, a wet meadow walk and a bridge traveling over the wetland pond central to the location.
