Residents learned back in the spring about a Greenwich Dept of Public Works plans to replace a heavily traveled bridge on North Street that goes over West Brothers Brook – between Macpherson Drive and Cotswood Road.
Since then, word has circulated that the project would result in the very busy roadway limited to one-way traffic over an 18-24 month period tentatively beginning in Spring 2025. The local residents have expressed many concerns here and here including traffic congestion and safety, the long construction timeline, impact on water drainage and emergency vehicle access.
A follow up meeting is scheduled on Monday October 7 at 7 pm at Town Hall and on Zoom.
Between the lines: Eight schools with 7,000 students are located within one mile of this bridge and North Street is a major artery where 9,500 commuters pass per day. No wonder the neighborhood is up in arms.
