The New Fairfield upper grade educational campus [middle and high school] has over the last several years seen an incredible growth to due the scarcity of available public [town owned land] suitable for recreation. The sporting event fields, basketball courts, playground, boccie court, and now the dog park has overwhelmed the parking. Must recently while attending a meeting the traffic was backed up out of the school driveway down the hill toward Consolidated School. The congestion was the direct result of lack of parking.
However there is a simple solution which can temporarily relieve the problem. Temporary because the use of this property I understand is slated for another building purpose. This leads us to the problem of where on the school campus can parking be relocated? Or perhaps we can run a shuttle bus from Consolidated School to accommodate the parking, something like Disneyland in Florida.
