Fairfield Metro ~ Our Intern Rachel Checked it Out!

Our Intern Rachel checks out the new train station.

Rachel went and checked out the status of Fairfield Metro.  With 1,500 parking spots it looks like there is still room for more commuters.  If you are tired of circling the Fairfield Train Station, frustrated at the lack of spots in the morning, why not try Fairfield Metro?

Fairfield Metro Station begin running on December 5, 2011. The train here stops 3 minutes before it stops at the other Fairfield train station downtown. This new train station has added more jobs to our town. The staff at the new station has created a very friendly environment and they say that they love working together. Fairfield Metro has many benefits that the other station does not. This new station is more modern, more self sufficient, and much more convenient to some citizens of Fairfield. Staff members did say though that the station could use vendors like the station downtown. Unlike Fairfield station, there are plenty of places to park at just $6 a day. There is no chance that you would have to park down the street to catch the train like at the downtown station. The staff and customers of this train station seem to love Fairfield Metro and encourage citizens to make the switch.

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are youRead More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses thatRead More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekendsRead More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.

Thanks Jan.

Creeky, the condos were 65 luxury units, and there were no low income or affordable housingRead More included. We do not accept the alternative of industrial versus overly dense huge condos looming over our homes. Is there any new industrial activity likely in Fairfield? Industrial is leaving and not coming here, especially to a polluted site like Thorpe Street. We expect the property owner to come back with a more reasonable residential development that we can support because it will integrate into our neighborhood.

Does anyone know if low income housing is included in the proposal? Also, I'm curious, would theRead More neighbors prefer industrial development to condominiums?
