The board officially dropped the relocation plans this morning. We kept the Y downtown where it belongs and protected our neighborhood character. Keep watching the town planning agendas to ensure they honor this commitment.
To: Westport/Weston YMCA
Westport Board of Selectmen
Westport Planning and Zoning Commission
Westport Conservation Commission:
WE, the undersigned Westport residents, believe that moving the YMCA from a downtown location to the remote, residential and rural neighborhood where Camp Mahackeno is located is the wrong decision for the town.
This relocation would increase traffic congestion, jeopardize health and safety, create sprawl, destroy open space, endanger the environment, bring overdevelopment, change the character of a neighborhood and our town, and harm the vitality of Westport
We hit a major milestone today that proves this community will not let our downtown lose its heart. Now we need to turn this momentum into action by calling the Planning and Zoning Commission to state your opposition directly.

The Y belongs where people can actually walk to it. Moving it out to Mahackeno is a huge mistake for everyone living downtown without a car.

Absolute nonsense. They want to turn a quiet neighborhood into a massive construction zone for what? Bad move.

My kids have been going to the downtown Y for years. Moving it makes it so much harder for us. STOP THIS.

Dont destroy the open space. That land is beautiful as it is. Leave it alone.

Too much traffic already. The roads in that area cant handle the influx of commuters. Think about the residents for once.

Terrible idea. Pushing everything to the outskirts ruins the town feel. Keep the Y where it is.
