Bike Walk Commission approves February minutes, adjourns March 3 meeting
Summary
The Norwalk Bike Walk Commission met March 3 by videoconference, approved its February minutes and adjourned after hearing public comment and multiple project updates including the Sono Rail Trail concept, NRVT maintenance requests, Walkbridge work and event planning.
The Norwalk Bike Walk Commission met by videoconference at 6:01 p.m. Monday, March 3 and established a quorum before hearing public comment and staff and community updates. Commissioners approved the February meeting minutes and later voted to adjourn after completing the agenda.
The meeting opened with public comment from Nancy Rosette, a board member of Friends of the Norwalk River Valley Trail, who described ongoing negotiations with City departments over mowing and snow removal for a recently opened Riverside section of the trail. The commission then heard a citizen presentation on a proposed Sono (Sonorail) Trail, updates about planned road closures for a Walkbridge-related Fort Pointe Street project, and staff reports on bike-safety training and upcoming community events including Norwalk Earth Day on April 26.
The commission discussed multiple operational matters including how to report trail maintenance via the city's "click and request" app; coordination with the state Walkbridge program and the Traffic Authority on detour plans for the Fort Pointe Street work; and the city ordinance that assigns sidewalk snow- and ice-removal responsibility to property owners.
