This past year the Conservancy has collaborated with the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) in developing a context sensitive design for the Route 7/Main Avenue Interchanges in Norwalk resulting in Alternate 12A and the Modified Cloverleaf with Option D2. Both the DOT and The Merritt Parkway Conservancy have been operating in good faith and making the details of the various plans public and known to municipal officials and many residents of Norwalk area for some time, and there has been extensive local press coverage of these developments. The Conservancy remains committed to working with all parties who have an interest in maintaining the integrity and overall quality of the Merritt Parkway.

Several alternatives have been developed in addition to the original plan. The plan the Conservancy considers to have benefits significantly exceeding all other alternatives is the Cloverleaf Plan with Ramp D Option 2.    Click to continue
