Nearly 500 people packed a Norwalk Zoning Commission meeting to weigh in on plans for a 27,000-square-foot mosque.
Neighbors say they are concerned about traffic and parking issues, not religion, should a mosque be built on Fillow Street.
"We are worried about traffic, parking and safety. We are worried the religious building will generate a lot more traffic than this area normally sees," said Edmund Ryan who is on the executive board for Fillow Ridge.
