A historic flood in 1955 devastated downtown Norwalk, which has never reclaimed much of its former glory, according to Jim Travers, the city’s director of transportation, parking and mobility. But a $30 million project over the next five years is now underway to change that, Travers said. The plan involves creating safer intersections, widening the sidewalks, providing opportunities for outdoor dining and improving on-street lighting, Travers told CT Insider. The project, which extends from West Avenue to East Avenue and Wall Street, including Burnell Boulevard, and portions Main Avenue and Commerce, River and Isaac streets, is expected to be completed by 2030. The city has received $5.75 million in federal grants, $12.9 in state grants, $1.6 million in capital investments, $350,000 from its Capital Projects Fund, and $2 million in parking authority improvements for the Yankee Doodle Garage, he said.
