NORWALK — General Growth Properties, Inc., (GGP) will put forward for approval a 700,000-square-foot regional retail center for the last dozen acres of Norwalk’s Reed Putnam Urban Renewal area, otherwise known as the 95/7 site.

[...]

GGP hopes to connect the retail complex to the areas with a trolley or shuttle service, bicycle and pedestrians paths and possibly a water taxi. The company hopes to partner with the Norwalk Transit District on some of these projects.

[...]

The conceptual plan of the mall shows five levels of construction with parking at and below grade, and above that three levels of retail space with further parking behind each level. Roughly 3,000 paid parking spaces would serve the facility.
The complex would house two or three fashion department stores as anchor tenants, along with 75 to 100 small shops and restaurants, mostly along the corridors within the mall. Discussions have been had with possible tennants, according to Adams, but he would not disclose who those tenants might be.
“Jewel box” additions along the West Avenue side of the mall would house additional retail. The exterior of the mall would be largely glass.
Large public plazas would anchor the north and south ends of the mall along West Avenue.

Governor Lamont Announces Start of Construction on the Walk Bridge Replacement Project in Norwalk

Posted on May 12, 2023



(NORWALK, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto today announced that the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is starting construction on the Norwalk River Railroad (Walk) Bridge Replacement Project in Norwalk.

Originally built in 1896, the Walk Bridge is a four-track railroad bridge that spans the Norwalk River and serves as a critical link on the Northeast Corridor, connecting major cities such as Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. It is one of the oldest movable bridges in the region, and in recent years it has shown its age, failing to close on several occasions and significantly disrupting travel on the New Haven Line, the busiest rail line in the country.

Having outlived its useful life, federal and state officials determined the necessity to replace the bridge and designed a new one that is focused on enhancing the safety, reliability, and ease of travel throughout Norwalk and beyond with vital improvements and upgrades to the railroad infrastructure. This bridge replacement project promotes economic development through infrastructure investment, the protection of potential up-river development, and reduced roadway congestion.

The new bridge will be a redundant structure with two independent, movable spans that are designed and constructed to be resilient and sustainable for extreme weather events. When completed, a speed restriction over the bridge will be eliminated, allowing for trains to travel at speeds that are 15 miles per hour faster.

The $925 million construction project is approximately 80% federally funded and 20% state funded. It is expected to be completed in 2029.

Oh, the Danbury Line...

Given how subpar it is compared to the rest of Metro-North, it's funny when you see the owners of the Merritt 7 office park praise the renovated train station as a vital amenity.
 
I’ve been spending a lot of time recently in Norwalk and have really come to appreciate their aggressive approach to infill and increasing density.

It shares some historical similarities to other NE industrial cities but seems to have eclipsed them.

Norwalk has done a good job , all thats missing is the restoration of old Wall Street Station which is in Downtown Norwalk.
 
Is there a restoration plan in place, if so can you share a link?

ConnDOT was commissioned to do a study on restoration of that Danbury Branch station in 2018, but AFAIK there's been no action on it since.
