Proposed Improvements on Route 7 from Grist Mill Road to Kent Road in Norwalk and Wilton

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, 2024, 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.

" This proposed project aims to improve mobility and reduce congestion-related crashes along U.S. Route 7 by adding signal improvements and additional turn lanes that will also improve sidewalk continuity and pedestrian connections," said Connecticut Department of Transportation Project Manager, Andrew J. Correia. "We encourage the public to attend this meeting to share their feedback with the CTDOT project team to incorporate into the future design."

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.
