The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) has published a Joint Environmental Assessment/Environmental Impact Evaluation (EA/EIE) for the Route 7/15 Norwalk project. The Joint EA/EIE is now available for public review and comment. The EA/EIE is a document that is published as part of the environmental documentation process required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Connecticut Environmental Policy Act (CEPA). The Joint EA/EIE was prepared to help CTDOT find a solution for the incomplete connections between Routes 7 and 15. The Project aims to improve mobility and safety at the Main Avenue and Route 7 interchanges on the Merritt Parkway. Members of the public can submit comments and questions during the 45-day public comment period, which will end on August 31, 2023.
