It’s going to be a rough summer for commuters from New Canaan (and Darien) as they cope with the repercussions of Metro-North’s coming shutdown of all trains on the New Canaan branch from May 30 to Sept. 1. Parking will be tight and travel times lengthened. TRACK WORK: The Connecticut Department of Transportation says it’s doing major track work on the branch, including replacement of 8,000 ties, 1,600 feet of rail and needed bridge work.
