The efforts to revitalize South Norwalk and improve pedestrian safety continue with the city receiving $14 million from a U.S. Department of Transportation program. Norwalk’s MLK Corridor Equitable Mobility Enhancement Project is receiving $14 million to fund improvements on 2 miles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and six other roadways surrounding the South Norwalk Train Station. In all, 33 acres will be improved. This is the latest grant for the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency projects in South Norwalk, focusing on improving safety and connectivity. This grant will reconfigure a network of roads in South Norwalk to include bicycles and pedestrians, improved signage updated with real-time transit data, and advanced drainage and landscaping. Norwalk already has a $6 million grant to improve the Transit-Oriented District in South Norwalk around a new 200-unit apartment complex that is being developed. The state allocated a $1.3 million grant to remediate the brownfield site where the apartments are slated to be built by Spinnaker.
