Bring your own sandwich, soup or snack and join us for an enlightening “Lunch & Learn” with Arianne Kolb, Executive Director of The Merritt Parkway Conservancy.
Arianne will discuss the importance of the Merritt Parkway since its creation in 1932 and it’s impact on travel in the Northeast and explore the intriguing history of one of Connecticut’s iconic landmarks.
CT DOT recently changed the Merritt Parkway’s exit numbers to a new, mile-based system. The new exit numbers will correspond to the actual mileage from the New York state line. For example, the exit formerly known as Exit 28 in Greenwich is now Exit 3. You will see “OLD EXIT” signs with a green background at key locations for at least two years to help drivers adjust.
On July 8th, the TPZ held a public hearing for a text change to create an affordable housing zone allowing for a large and highly visible housing development at 1477 Congress Street (39 units). MPC opposed this application and gathered wetlands, traffic, and historic preservation experts to review and testify on the applications’ flaws and negative impact on the Merritt’s view shed, the natural environment and wetlands, the neighboring homes, and a historic 19th-century house.
