WILTON Concept designs to replace the Wilson Lake retaining wall were reviewed on Tuesday, Dec. 29, during a public Zoom meeting hosted by the town of Wilton. Jeff Read from Sevee & Maher Engineers (SME) and Jessica Kimball from Terrence J. DeWan & Associates Landscape Architects and Planners (tjd&a) presented two designs, Concept A and Concept B.
Both concepts include a paved parking area and pedestrian access connecting downtown Wilton to the lake and Bass Park with a 6 foot wide waterfront pathway and crosswalks. The current, 20-year-old cement retaining wall would be replaced by a rip rap wall which utilizes layers of stone to break waves and prevent erosion.
