At a recent neighborhood meeting a Norwalker drew audience agreement when he commented that we don't know where the vehicles are coming from or where they are going to.  He was describing East Avenue -- but he could just as easily have been referring to Connecticut Avenue, or Rowayton Avenue, or Newtown Avenue, or...

The best response to the comment that was made is ---- we should know.  We should

know where the traffic is coming from and where it is going.  If we don't know the full

nature of the problem we won't know how to plan and implement viable alternatives.

Let's look at the data from the traffic studies already conducted by the DPW, SWRPA,

DOT and private developers.  We can then do cost-effective selective studies to compile

information to create a comprehensive plan for Norwalk.
