Many Rowayton residents have expressed concern about the shortage of sidewalks and pathways in our village to the Commissioners. The City of Norwalk has hired a consulting firm, Fitzgerald & Halliday for $80,000 to develop a 10 year guide map that identifies areas and issues, ranks priorities and develops plans to build bike lanes, better sidewalks and other ways for bicyclists and pedestrians to get around the city more safely. As part of this, a survey has been designed. This survey is for all of the residents of Norwalk to give their input and can be found at the Rowayton Library’s website www.Rowayton.org: just click on 6th Taxing District shingle on the left and then select the Public Survey (or go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/XBDSZHL).
Commissioner Mike Barbis has reported that, at this initial stage of the long term plan, much of the input has been from other parts of Norwalk. It would be terrific if Rowayton’s residents could give their input and discuss the need for more pathways around our neighborhoods … so that we all can safely walk down Roton Avenue to Bayley Beach or our kids can safely walk to both Rowayton and Roton Schools or our commuters can walk to the train station without having to wear a reflective vest!
If residents feel the survey does not address all of the issues, please contact the planning firm directly. The person in charge of this project, Ken Livingston, is looking for feedback and can be contacted at klivingston@fhiplan.com.
