Stratfield Neighborhood to Increase Wilson Street Pedestrian Connectivity Written by Sarah Roy
Fairfield, CT On January 5, 2020, a car traveling west on Wilson Street at excessive speeds ran over a resident’s yard, tore up the lawn and crushed a small tree, then crossed the street and crashed into a tree trunk in front of 419 Wilson, totaling the front of the car. This was not the first car crash on Wilson (there have been more than 25 known crashes on this street since 2015), but it became a catalyst for Wilson Street residents and neighbors who live nearby to come together and demand safety and road design improvements for Wilson that would make it safe and comfortable for all users, including the dozens of pedestrians, cyclists, families, and school-age children who use the street daily.
