New traffic patterns on East Wall Street may present challenges to visitors and residents patronizing local businesses. Park Norwalk is here to support local businesses during this time and help raise awareness about parking alternatives.
Beginning in 2025, the City of Norwalk kicked off the first phase of its $27 million infrastructure project on Wall Street. Phase 1 of the project includes the construction of sidewalks, streetscape, bike lanes and roadway improvements along Wall Street/East Wall Street from Main Street to Brook Street.
This phase aims to transform a block of the corridor by right-sizing travel lanes and increasing the width of the sidewalks to increase walkability and connectivity for all modes of transportation. The transformation will enhance aesthetics and livability in the area through improved pedestrian level lighting, decorative banding, street trees and landscaping upgrades. It will also enhance residents’ quality of life by improving pavement markings, implementing ADA-compliant sidewalks, curb ramps and crossings and installing curb extensions, a raised crosswalk and a flashing beacon.
How to Access East Wall Street Businesses
Businesses on East Wall Street will remain open during construction. On-street parking will be limited between Main Street and Brook Street.
Here are some alternative parking options for East Wall Street businesses:
- Main Street Lot: $0.60/hour
- Wall Street Lot: $0.60/hour
- On-Street Parking: Is available on High Street. For quick errands, take advantage of the City’s free 15-minute parking. For on-street parking beyond 15 minutes, the rate is $0.75/hour.
