The September 15 meeting of the Norwalk Traffic Authority kicked off with a focus on public participation, highlighting community concerns over proposed parking restrictions on Howard Avenue. Diane Cece, representing the East Norwalk Neighborhood Association, urged the authority to postpone discussions on the parking proposal for a month to address various concerns from local residents.

Cece's request came after technical difficulties delayed her connection to the meeting, but she quickly emphasized the importance of community input on the matter. Her call for a tabling of the item reflects a growing need for dialogue between the Traffic Authority and local stakeholders regarding traffic management and neighborhood impacts.

The meeting, attended by commissioners and Mayor Rilling, underscored the authority's commitment to engaging with the public on pressing traffic issues. As discussions continue, the authority will consider Cece's request, aiming to ensure that community voices are heard in shaping local traffic policies.
