Chris Noe organized a walk of Stony Brook last week. Saturday's walk was to look at the condition of the waterway and to note areas requiring clean up or dredging. Also the walk was to identify possible areas for water detention projects. Selectmen Callie Sullivan and Seth Morton attended, also in attendance were Alan Armstrong and Pete Kenyon from the Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) as well as past Darien commissioner Ralph Passaro. The walk lasted 2 hours to make the trek from Gorham's Pond to the Renshaw Road Bridge. One of the highlights was noting that the Old Kings Highway bridge is too small -- flood waters have been going over it rather than under it and flooding the road. Understanding the extent of the flooding and that the infrastructure can't handle it , goes a long way to finding solutions.
When the weather tames down, Chris will probably be organizing another walk to explore the brook north of Renshaw Road.
