NORWALK, Conn. The City is free to begin construction on a new softball field at Brien McMahon High School, even if neighbors are not persuaded that the lights won’t be shining into their homes.
“This is a beautiful street, a beautiful community. And it’s going to be destroyed by that dome of light that is going to sit there,” James Wehrle said Wednesday, unsuccessfully trying to convince the Norwalk Zoning Commission not to approve the field and its 60-foot-tall light poles.
Norwalk Planning and Zoning Director Steven Kleppin presents a traffic plan for the Connecticut Avenue Chick-fil-A.
NORWALK, Conn. Traffic jams at the Connecticut Avenue Chick-fil-A are due to the pandemic, according to Attorney Liz Suchy, who said it’s “most problematic” on Friday and especially Saturday afternoons “when folks are out and about, and now especially that we’re feeling a little bit more liberated and desirous of getting out of our homes.” Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays per a nationwide company policy.
Even if Chick-Fil-A’s drive-through traffic is re-routed onto adjacent Rampart Road and through the parking lot, the line is so long that it blocks Connecticut Avenue’s outside lane, leaving only one passable eastbound lane, according to Zoning Commissioner Galen Wells.
