What an honor to represent the people of our great City the past few years. I have such gratitude in my heart for the opportunity and I will continue working hard for my neighbors in my new role as State Rep. Thank you to my Council colleagues for your kind words and this fabulous gift that I will proudly put on the wall of my new office at the Capitol. It will remind me of the work we achieved and will inspire me for the work ahead that we will do together! Always Norwalk proud ❤️ Thank you to the people of Norwalk for putting your faith in me.

A wonderful night full of holiday spirit in Norwalk! ✨ A quick stop at Stew's to watch the carol singers and it was great to see the fire truck all decorated and ready for Santa to arrive 🎅. Then I joined the fun in community at the Miracle on Wall Street event. What a fantastic tree lighting and festive time. 🎄 The youth dancers were so talented, there was even snow 😮 and it was so great to see everyone having so much fun!

Great to see my soon-to-be new state colleagues Senator Bob Duff, Senate Majority Leader and Kadeem Roberts for State Representative of the 137th District too!

Save the date and please join us next week!

Save the Date: Participate in the City of Norwalk's Transportation Master Plan Meeting and Open House on Tuesday, December 6! Mayor Rilling invites the community to participate in helping the City build our vision to enhance mobility for all modes of transportation, while addressing six key themes: equity, environment, safety, resiliency, technology, and transportation choice. The last Transportation Master Plan in Norwalk was completed in 2012.

In preparation for this meeting, over 1,000 participants have completed a project survey, and 750 pins have been placed on an interactive map to show areas of concern across the City. Concerns reflect frequent near-miss and crash locations, missing sidewalk links, and opportunities for better transit connectivity.

At the Transportation Master Plan meeting, the Transportation, Mobility and Parking (TMP) Department and FHI Studio, the consultant team, will present an ambitious draft plan that includes goals, strategies, and implementation steps to guide policy and project based on the feedback the City has received to date. The community will have the opportunity to speak directly with city staff and consultants to share their feedback.

The TMP team is seeking the community's input before drafting the City’s final Master Plan and presenting it in early 2023. The final version of the Master Plan will form the basis for transportation policy and investment over the next 10 to 20 years.

The event will take place in the Community Room at Norwalk City Hall, 125 East Avenue. To learn more about the project, pre-register for the event, or share your input, please visit the website: https://tomorrow.norwalkct.org/plan/transportation-master-plan. For any questions, please contact Michael Yeosock, Principal Transportation Engineer with the Department of Transportation, Mobility & Parking, at [email protected] or (203) 854-7844.
