H John Voorhees III/Hearst Connecticut Media NORWALK — The revitalization of Norwalk’s Wall Street area has been a community goal since a flood in 1955 devastated the area. Now the city is undertaking $25 million in grant-funded projects to revive it. “It never really made a full recovery, and I find it kind of hard to believe that it’s taken so long to get anything done there,” Mayor Harry Rilling said. Wall Street has been a priority for Rilling since he was elected. This summer, ground will break on the first phase of a comprehensive street improvement plan. “There are very few opportunities to redesign an entire downtown,” said Garrett Bolella, assistant director of Norwalk’s Transportation, Mobility, and Parking Department. So far, Norwalk has been allocated $18 million in state and federal grants to redesign the streets, expand the sidewalks, add more street trees, improve lighting, and raise crosswalks. Phase 1 will break ground on Aug. 5 on Wall Street between Main Street and Brook Street. “That will start to give the community the first look and feel of some of the improvements that we are moving into the corridor,” said Jim Travers, Director of Norwalk’s TMP. “While it’s not a large section, it is, I think, a pivotal section because it’s how you’re entering the village district,” Travers added. This stretch of Wall Street revitalization will be paid for with a $2.4 million grant from the state. About $2 million was used for a contract with Waters Construction, based in Bridgeport. The rest of the funds will be used by the city for other preparation work, Travers explained. With a 270-day contract for phase 1, Travers and Bolella are preparing for phase 2, which will span Main Street between Wall and Hoyt Street and tie in some of the side streets like River and Commerce Street. This portion of the project will be funded by a $5.5 million federal grant. __________________________________ As of June 11, 2024, an engineer has been selected and it is in the design phase.
