Dear Veterans,

I have lived in New Canaan for 70 years, am a WWII combat Veteran and I served in Germany. I’m a member of the New Canaan VFW. 

Over the years, the VFW has been losing many of its members as each of us gets up in age. (I am 98 years old myself.) So I am asking the younger Veterans of New Canaan to give some thought to becoming a VFW member and carrying on the good work the VFW has been doing for so many years.

I am writing about the new barriers put in place for the restaurants. 

As a shop  owner in town these new barriers directly impact our business. 

By my calculations this eliminates about 12-13 parking places on Elm St, including handicap parking. 

We’ve already lost a significant amount of parking in recent years. I don’t know the exact number but it’s quite a lot. 

I’m sure just about everyone who shops or eats in town agrees that parking is a major issue. Not a single day passes that someone doesn’t complain to me about the difficulties of finding a parking space. 

Yes, there is parking behind Elm but the hassles of using the meters and the inconvenience of navigating the stairs and distance prevents most people from parking there.

I am writing to strongly object to St Luke’s proposal to build a 200 car garage. It appears to me that they have increased their enrollment to the point that they are exceeding their allowable traffic load. So first they build a garage to lower the traffic load.

As concerned and longtime residents of New Canaan, we are compelled to voice our collective opposition to the proposed construction of an above-ground, 200-car parking garage by St. Luke’s School, which is to be topped with a synthetic turf field. This development, planned within the heart of our residential community, starkly contrasts with the values, heritage, and environmental stewardship we hold dear in New Canaan. 

Our neighborhood is renowned for its serene ambiance and significant architectural heritage, including several modernist houses recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
