Why a Sidewalk on Summit?

The project is currently in the community engagement stage. No formal Town evaluation has been initiated, and no design, alignment, or construction plan has been proposed. The Riverside Assocation is working to gauge neighborhood support. If sufficient support is demonstrated, the Town would then conduct an engineering and feasibility review.

Before the Town will evaluate a potential sidewalk project, there needs to be support from at least 75% of homeowners along the proposed corridor.

Under current Town of Greenwich regulations, adjacent property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from sidewalks bordering their property.

Any potential impacts would be evaluated by the Town during the engineering and feasibility process. Property lines, drainage, utilities, trees, and other factors would be carefully studied before any decisions are made.

No decision has been made regarding the location of a sidewalk. Many residents may recall that in 2015, the Town evaluated a potential sidewalk along the north side of the street. That proposal was not ultimately pursued due to a lack of sufficient support from affected property owners. If 75% of neighbors indicate support for the Town to re-evaluate, they will conduct a new, detailed review based on any updated circumstances.

Yes. In 2015, the Town proposed a sidewalk along Oval Avenue and Summit Road. The effort was ultimately not pursued due to a lack of sufficient support from affected property owners on the north side of the street, where the sidewalk was proposed.
