Additional cars and trucks will make any foot traffic in the area very difficult. Crossing the streets is already very difficult and dangerous.

I live on Strawberry Hill and use that street to commute to work every day. With 3 schools as well as the regular traffic on that street, the addition of tractor trailers would be horrendous!

This would ruin an old neighborhood in East Norwalk and cause congestion from Winfield Street to Stew Leonard's. Taxpayers deserve better from our City Administrators.

This is another infringement on quiet enjoyment of our home in Norwalk.
Major where do you live. You are invited over to our house to listen to the traffic as bad as it now is. Try and imagine your living here if you let this depot loom over our neighborhood_ not yours though,huh? We love Norwalk and here you expound on it, however, the greatness of Norwalk is verily slipping away. Show you care.

I oppose Special Permit Application #6-20SP for a 330,000 square foot Warehouse/Distribution Center at 10 Norden Place, and its proposed truck routes on Strawberry Hill and East Avenue

This is a real estate & community-killer. This is not why after 1.5 years of searching we settled on buying a home in East Norwalk.

Quite possibly the dumbest idea ever. I’m appalled that the application is even being considered. Do better Norwalk govt. DO BETTER.

We relocated and recently retired to a condo on East Ave in Norwalk. The river in front of the condo is already quite busy, and extra congestion on the roads will not add to the residential tranquility of the area. Please find a more industrial area to build the Distribution Center!

As a nearby 12 Pequot Drive, I will be impacted negatively by this intense use of the property.

In addition to the excellent reporting of issues raised on the Zoom Zoning meeting 12/7/20 I noticed that the drawing presented fails to show that there are residential neighborhoods just north of I-95 and south of the train tracks at are much closer to the north and south truck loading bays than the houses to the west used in the noise study. The Avalon apartments to the east are just as close as the houses used in the noise study and vastly increases the number of residents in close proximity to the site.
Our house on Dairy Farm Road is half the distance from the proposed north loading dock than the houses in the noise study are. Houses to the south are even closer and should have been used if the study were to accurate. The noise study presented is worthless as it fails to study the houses closest to the loading docks.
Additionally on the meeting I head someone say there is a proposal to have CDL training on site that would have trainees backing trucks up and starting forward all day long. The noisiest most polluting truck activity would be vastly increased all day long if that was allowed.
While the Norden site is an existing commercial site it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. The site drawings are deceptive in that they fail to show the residential neighborhoods right on the north side of the highway, south side of the train tracks, and the Avalon apartment complex to the east.
Thank you for leading the opposition to this terrible proposal.

Come on Norwalk, you can do your city planning better than this! How about listening to your citizens, their concerns and frustrations?!

With the already proposed increase density this is an insane idea.

Norden Place is the ONLY viable route for cyclists to cross I-95 (via Strawberry Hill) given East Avenue is so dangerous. This makes no sense in a largely residential neighborhood!!

The proposed Norden Park Truck Distribution Center will bring endless lines of traffic to East Norwalk. The length of an eighteen-wheel tractor-trailer is 70-80 feet. The average length of a passenger sedan is 15 feet.
Thus, 4-5 cars equal the length of one eighteen-wheeler. The estimated 175-200 daily truck trips equal another 1000 cars waiting in traffic.
Imagine, now, the long lines of traffic waiting to get onto East Avenue, the honking horns at delayed traffic signals, 70-foot-long trucks blocking intersections and the eternal waits to get onto I-95.
No, the proposed distribution center is a definite disadvantage to East Norwalk and its residents.
