  • Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary Report Master
    Photo Credit: Bob Luckey City of Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary of Findings City of Stamford Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop Summary of Findings Overview The need for municipalities, regional planning organizations, states and federal agen- cies to increase resilience and adapt to extreme weather events and mounting natural hazards is strikingly evident along the coast of Connecticut. Recent events such as Tropical Storm Irene, the Halloween Snow Storm, Hurricane Sandy, and most recently Blizzard Juno have reinforced this urgency and compelled leading communities like the City of Stamford to proactively plan and mitigate risks. Ultimately, this type of leader- ship is to be commended because it will reduce the exposure and vulnerability of Stam- ford’s citizens, infrastructure and ecosystems and serve as a model for communities across Connecticut, the Atlantic Seaboard, and the Nation. In the fall of 2013, a partnership formed between the City of Stamford, Western Con- necticut Council of Governments, and The Nature Conservancy. This partnership fo- cused on increasing awareness of risks from natural and climate-related hazards and to assess the vulnerabilities, and strengths within the City of Stamford. This was actual- ized through a series of presentations, meetings, and outreach to build stakeholder will- ingness and engagement followed by a Hazards and Community Resilience Workshop in December of 2014. The core directive of the Workshop was the engagement with and between community stakeholders in order to facilitate the education, planning and ulti- mately implementation of priority adaptation action. The Workshop’s central objectives were to: Deine extreme weather and local natural and climate-related hazards; Identify existing and future vulnerabilities and strengths; Develop and prioritize actions for the City and broader stakeholder networks; Identify opportunities for the community to advance actions to reduce risk and increase resilience comprehensively.

  • Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library
    Connecticut Town Guides: Compiled from Collections at the CT State Library Compiled by Jeannie Sherman, Reference Librarian, History & Genealogy Unit, Connecticut State Library, 2016 Introduction Many people visit the Connecticut State Library to research their family history. We hold one of the best genealogy collections in Connecticut including our indexes to pre-1850 vital records, cemetery inscriptions, church & family bible records, marriage & death notices, and probate estate papers. Though these indexes are state-wide by surname, we also hold records for each town. As any person who attempts to do genealogy research in Connecticut discovers, knowing what town a family lived in is very important. Connecticut currently has one hundred and sixty-nine towns each with their own vital, land, and probate district chronology. As towns in Connecticut were created, most were set off from a parent town. County boundaries also changed throughout Connecticut's history, so knowing a parent town or knowing in which county a town was located over time can help researchers search for court and other records. The purpose of these Town Guides is to have in one place basic information about each town. This includes the year it was established, the parent town, historical county information, vital and church record information, a probate district chronology, and a list of cemeteries that were inventoried in the Hale Collection. For town vital records and church records, both the Connecticut State Library (CSL) microfilm number and the Latter-Day Saint (LDS) microfilm number are given where applicable. Researchers are encouraged to search by film number within the LDS catalog as many vital records can be found online.

Norwalk, Connecticut 06851 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 225 High Ridge Road office complex, a 221,630-square-foot two building facility, is located one-half mile north of downtown Stamford, Connecticut, in Fairfield County. With more than 40 million square feet of office space, 5,000 hotel rooms, and the corporate headquarters for 25 Fortune 500 firms, Fairfield County has become a nationally recognized office location. Unlike most other suburban locations in the metropolitan New York area, Fairfield County has largely retained its suburban character and natural beauty. The site at 225 High Ridge Road was the last one available for development in the north Stamford area. Developed by Gerald D. Hines Interests at a total cost of $53 million, the first phase of 225 High Ridge Road opened in the spring of 1990, 15 months after the start of construction.

Residents who attended identifi ed pedestrian safety as an issue throughout the entire neighborhood. The intersection of Prospect Street, Hoyt Street, Strawberry Hill Avenue, Grove Street, and Hillandale Avenue was described as being particularly confusing and unfriendly for pedestrians. Other areas singled out as being in need of pedestrian safety improvements are Oaklawn Avenue, Strawberry Hill Avenue, High Ridge Road, Long Ridge Road, and the intersection of Bedford Street and Summer Street. Speeding was noted to be a concern on Oaklawn Avenue, Halpin Avenue, Fourth Street, Washington Boulevard, Bedford Street, Terrace Avenue, McClean Avenue, and Cross Road. Participants identifi ed the Halpin Road at High Ridge Road and Halpin Avenue at Oaklawn Avenue as intersections where traffi c safety was an issue. On June 10, 2008 a closing charrette for the neighborhood was conducted at Cloonan Middle School. Fifth Street was singled out as an additional location where speeding was an issue. Residents also recommended that Fifth Street and Fourth Street be treated simultaneously so that the speeding issue is not simply shifted from one street to the other.

    HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD Merritt Parkway, Rippowam River Bridie HAER No. CT-78 Location: Spanning the Rippowam River at the 10.18 mile mark on the Merritt Parkway in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut UTM: 18.621240.4551570 Quad: Stamford, Connecticut Construction Date: 1936 Engineer: Connecticut Highway Department Architect: George L. Dunkelberger, of the Connecticut Highway Department, acted as head architect for all Merritt Parkway bridges. Contractor: Paul Bacco Construction Company Stamford, Connecticut Present Owner: Connecticut Department of Transportation Wethersfield, Connecticut Present Use: Used by traffic on the Merritt Parkway to cross the Rippowam River Significance: The bridges of the Merritt Parkway were predominately inspired by the Art Deco and Art Moderne architectural styles of the 1930s. Experimental forming techniques were employed to create the ornamental characteristics of the bridges. This, combined with the philosophy of incorporating architecture into bridge design and the individuality of each structure, makes them distinctive. Historians: Todd Thibodeau, HABS/HAER Historian Corinne Smith, HAER Engineer August 1992 For more detailed information on the Merritt Parkway, refer to the Merritt Parkway History Report, HAER No. CT-63. Merritt Parkway, Rippowam River Bridge HAER No. CT-78 (page 2) LOCAL HISTORY In 1640, agents of the New Haven Colony bought land on the banks of the Rippowam River where it meets the Long Island Sound. The following year, twenty-nine families from Wethersfield purchased these lands and moved there under the leadership of the Reverend Adam Davenport. The small settlement took the name Stamford even though it was still under the jurisdiction of the New Haven Colony. Stamford would continue to grow, and at one point included parts of Greenwich, Bedford, Pound Ridge, New Canaan, and Darien.
