We’re making Norwalk more sustainable by advocating for walking, biking, public transit, more housing options, and urban greenery!🚶🚲 🚍 🏘️ 🌳

🏡 Last year, Connecticut passed the big housing bill. Included was a provision that made it so buildings across CT under 16 units aren’t subject to parking minimums. 💪 Great!! This will help us move past a lot of our city’s baked in car dependency.

❓The only issue? Municipalities are able to exempt up to 8% of their total land area from these reforms. And it’s looking like Norwalk is going to choose to exempt a lot of walkable, housing diverse, transit rich neighborhoods, constraining their livability and affordability.

But…what even is parking reform? What would it mean for Norwalk? How can it empower the creation of livable and affordable communities?

Tom is going to tell us all about it!

As a part of Parking Reform Network and a member of the Trumbull Town Council, Tom has spent years advocating for parking reform to enable affordable housing, bike lanes, and transit improvements. We’re excited to hear from him and hope to see you there!

🤝 Communities need conversation.

That’s why this week’s General Body Meeting will be in partnership with Norwalk Green Living, the City Hall Neighborhood Association, and the Department of Public Works go a collaborative discussion about the future of ongoing improvements in the East Ave, City Hall, and Wall Street area.

No matter your viewpoint and life experiences, we hope to see you there!

🗣️‼️ We’ve got a public open house coming up! This time regarding Norwalk’s FIRST roundabout!!! 🛣️

🎉 We’re excited and will be turning out to learn more about the roundabout and give positive feedback! Below are FIVE reasons why we’re in favor, in case you want to come out yourself and do the same.

1️⃣ The New SoNo school, which doesn’t use yellow school buses, makes the argument for additional pedestrian access and safety at this intersection ever more important

2️⃣ The plan increases the number of crosswalks and visibility for pedestrians

3️⃣ A roundabout would add extra traffic capacity across the board meaning less travel delays and emissions as cars wait for their turn at the stop sign

4️⃣ The intersection is in an industrial area, so there isn’t going to be much residential pushback. The only one really affected by the change (who’s driveway is a part of the intersection) was given an offer by TMP to move the entrance to their driveway onto Wilson for them and they’re happy about the change

5️⃣ The plan leaves space for a future SoNo rail trail, which runs south down Meadow Street

Thanks to Transportation, Mobility & Parking for this AMAZING change!

See you there! 🔥

🚴‍♂️ We are honored to be joined by long-time Boston Area bicycle advocate Jessica Mink during our next general body meeting!

In addition to being an accomplished software developer and astronomer, being a part of the team that discovered the rings around Uranus, she’s been the director of the Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition and the route planner for the Massachusetts portion of the East Coast Greenway since 1991. She’s tirelessly worked to connect bike trails in the Boston area, allow bikes to be brought onto the T, and organize fellow riders to go on bike rides and continue to advocate for better biking conditions and commuter routes.

We couldn’t be more excited to talk to her, and hope to see you there.
