We, the undersigned merchants of New Canaan, are writing to respectfully urge you [the Town Council] not to fund the expansion of paid parking to Main Street. Since the onset of the initiative on Elm Street, we have experienced a noticeable decline in foot traffic, accompanied by a corresponding drop in sales compared to prior years. As business owners who are present on this street every day, across all seasons, we witness firsthand how these changes affect customer behavior and the vitality of our downtown village.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and alone by what’s happening in the world, come join us—Tuesdays at 9:30 am meeting in front of Houlihan & Lawrence. We’ll walk to our Town Hall, then to Rosies for tea or coffee and companionship. Peggy Risom Bull

Susan Phillips Boston, 65

By |

It is with great sadness that we announce Susan Phillips Boston, 65, of New Canaan, Connecticut, passed away in her home on Thursday, March 26th, after a hard-fought battle against cancer. 

She was a cherished mother, wife, sister, grandmother and friend, and her presence will be deeply missed. 

Susan was a proud lifelong New Canaanite. She spent her childhood dancing & teaching Walter Schalk, cheerleading for the Rams, managing the boys’ soccer and lacrosse teams, volunteering as advertising editor for the school yearbook and secretary for the student council. During her high school years she was awarded the “Good Citizen Award” by the Hannah Benedict Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution – a chapter for which she would later become Regent. 

Susan spent her summers at her parents’ house in Amagansett, Long Island, where she found one of her true loves, the beach. This was a love she carried with her the rest of her life – as she always said the water was her happy place. 

Susan attended St. Agnes Scott College and later transferred to and graduated from Bucknell University.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people about gas leaf blowers, and nearly everyone has been outspoken against them. It’s not just the disruption of our daily lives and use of our properties by their horrible noise —there are also serious health concerns associated with their use. Research from the Children’s Environmental Health Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai warns that gas leaf blowers pose significant health risks to residents, landscaping workers, and especially children.
