Nick Padilla, who said he works in the Public Services Department’s traffic signal section, told residents that crews made quick repairs to traffic signals on several streets in Norwalk and asked the public to report any remaining problems through the Norwalk Connects app.
"Our traffic signal team made quick repairs to a traffic light to help keep traffic moving safely and smoothly," Padilla said, describing recent on-street work. He identified locations where crews were active, saying, "We're taking care of some red lights on Avenue, Emmanuel Salinas, and Civic Center Drive." The transcript lists "Avenue" without a fuller street name; the full street name was not specified in the briefing.
Padilla asked residents to report signal problems through the city app: "If you spot an issue in your area, don't forget you can report it on the Norwalk Connects app. Once it's submitted, public services will be on the way," he said, describing the app as the primary channel for requesting repairs. He added a general community message: "Build up Norwalk, investing in your community."
The announcement framed the work as routine maintenance aimed at keeping traffic moving safely. No formal vote or policy action was discussed; the briefing was informational and focused on operational repairs and public reporting routes.
What’s next: Padilla indicated crews remain active in neighborhoods and encouraged continued use of the Norwalk Connects app to report signal issues so Public Services can dispatch technicians as needed.
