Last week, I had the honor of welcoming tennis legend Sloane Stephens to Norwalk. She talked to participants of a Six Love Tennis summer program. Six Love Tennis is a lower Fairfield County based nonprofit that aims to educate and enhance accessibility to the sport of tennis. I was able to secure state funding for the organization during the last legislative session. They have done great work for the community - thank you for all that you have done. And thank you to Sloane for taking the time to talk with some of the young people in our area.
CTDOT is holding in-person meeting on Tuesday, September 10, at 6:00 p.m.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) will conduct a public information meeting concerning the conceptual improvements proposed for Route 7 from Grist Mill Road to Kent Road in Norwalk and Wilton on Tuesday, September 10, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cranbury Elementary School at 10 Knowalot Lane in Norwalk.
The public information meeting is being held to provide the public and local community the opportunity to offer comments or ask questions regarding the proposed project. A question and answer (Q&A) session will immediately follow the presentation. For additional information regarding the meeting and ways to provide comments and ask questions, please visit http://portal.ct.gov/DOTNorwalkWiltonPP-102-020.
There are right-of-way impacts associated with the proposed improvements. Two total acquisitions may be needed on the northwest corner of the intersection of Grist Mill Road and Main Avenue. Partial minor acquisitions may be needed in other project areas to construct turn lanes and to provide a continuous sidewalk network throughout the project limits.
The proposed project is in the early stages of development. No funding has been identified and no schedule has been determined.
Language assistance may be requested by contacting the CTDOT Language Assistance Call Line (860) 594-2109. Requests should be made at least five business days prior to the meeting. Language assistance is provided at no cost to the public and efforts will be made to respond to timely requests for assistance.
Members of the public can submit comments and questions during the two-week public comment period following the meeting.
