Given that so many roads in Ridgefield are unsafe to run and bike on, this path is absolutely essential for families. It is one of the things that made us choose Ridgefield over neighboring towns. It would be a tragedy to destroy this safe and tranquil place.

I’m not against all developments, but the rec center area is already a major traffic bottleneck and that path is one of the things that makes our town special. Surely there is empty land farther north where the road is wider for development.

The State should be taken to task regarding this 8-30 G. We need to VOTE and change Hartford. There are great Representatives that have been working hard against the tide. John Frey and Toni Boucher have been incredibly strong in defending our town. We need them to continue the fight and we need to Vote in Bob Stefanowski

The trails are wonderful and should be treasured not developed. Appreciate what you have before it is gone.

This overzealous development of apartment buildings is not only destroying the environment and tranquility of our beloved small town but crashing real estate values of single family homes.

It would be detrimental for our beautiful town to allow the construction of a building, with 30 dwellings, in a single family home lot adjacent to the running path of the recreational center.
Not only it would disturbed the setting of peace and tranquility many seek here, but it will affect the land with water runoff, and a negative impact on Danbury Road’ s traffic. Let’s keep our town quaint, beautiful and peaceful.

Please don’t ruin a beautiful trail for the sake of unnecessary housing and an increasing traffic flow on 35

I am not against development in town, however building along this Beautiful and peaceful walking path does not make any sense.

Hi Molly! Please email [email protected] and [email protected] with your concerns. Also, I am trying to find or why there were signs posted on the trail (that they want a sidewalk to) and on Danbury Road. Seems very few people knew about this project...

There seems to be too much new development in Ridgefield.

Ridgefield is becoming overdeveloped. The infrastructure simple cannot handle it from traffic and services standpoint. It is unfair to ask the town to bear the burden of the $50mm treatment center.

Having the walking path for people to walk/ run on is a necessasity in a town that lacks sidewalks and safe walking areas. Secondly rite 35 cannnot handle the extra traffic flow !

Residentially zoned land needs to stay that way. Once again a neighborhood has to fight to keep their neighborhood residential. Ridgefield needs to change their regulations.

This is the wrong place for this development. Traffic is a nightmare and really unsafe. Putting a building with 67 additional parking spaces where there was a single family home is going to hurt our town far more than help it. With only 9 units of the 30 being affordable it is a sham! Developer - wins, Ridgefield - loses.
