Wallingford: Linear Trail’s Phase III seems to run up against a serious road block, as designed: a condominium development on Main Street, Yalesville. The trail would go through the complex – allowed to be constructed in 2003 as apartments, when surely the intended extension of the trail was no secret, and parking lot access is through the development’s driveway. It seems like an idea that may not have many takers, no matter how good a package the town is offering in return for permission.
Meriden: the challenge to the Ridgeline Protection Zone has been rejected by the courts. This is good news, as the Ridgeline zoning rules are an important link in the preservation of the natural assets of Central Connecticut.
Southington: evidently, the issues identified, or rather unidentified, in the town Parks and Recreation Department, are not yet thoroughly plumbed, as witness the seizure of the office computers last week.

Meriden's traprock ridges are 200 million year old works of art.
You don't tamper with perfection.
It's too bad most people take these natural treasures for granted. Only a handful have actually ever done anything positive to preserve the Metacomet Ridge. Most people do nothing. How sad.
On a positive note, the Hanging Hills have been granted another reprieve. That's heartening!
