Parking Authority 08-26-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut Parking Authority held a meeting on August 26, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the draft of a Residential Parking Permit (RPP) program. The meeting included public participation where residents and a state representative expressed concerns about the program's design, including the burden on residents to initiate petitions, the cost and fairness of permits, accommodations for caregivers and long-term service providers, and potential spillover parking issues in adjacent neighborhoods. The authority reviewed the program's development process, permit types, and implementation plans, emphasizing transparency and ongoing public input. A motion was passed unanimously to release the draft RPP program for a 30-day public comment period, with a commitment to provide a project tracker on the program's webpage by September 7 to enhance transparency during the comment period.
