North Street Bridge - NGA Petition to Town Officials
Background of Town Plans at Issue:
The Town of Greenwich is currently planning an 18 – 24 month construction project to replace the North Street Bridge located between Andrews Road and North Maple Avenue. Construction plans as they stand today would involve the closure of one lane with alternating tra ic lanes via a signal light. The Town states that over 7,000 cars travel through this route daily as a main thoroughfare to access Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich Train Station and several schools in the area including North Street, Brunswick, Greenwich Academy, Greenwich Country Day and Greenwich High School. However, there not been a traffic study conducted to determine alternate routes for passengers or emergency vehicles. There has been minimal transparency on the RFP process and whether alternative measures of bridge construction have been evaluated.
