OGA Now On Greenwich Patch

 

David Rafferty
Old Greenwich

 

Well, thank you to the wonderful people at Greenwich Patch for being either wise or foolish enough to let me bring you a blog on not just what is going on in Old Greenwich, but also featuring my personal opinions on issues important to the Village as well. For those seeking an introduction, my name is David Rafferty and I am the president of the Old Greenwich Association. Over the years I may have coached your kids in baseball or soccer and we may have met through the PTA boards at ISD or EMS. I’m as proud of my community as anyone, but I also have concerns, so from time to time I’ll be posting here to help keep us all well informed.

Replacement of Trees on Sound Beach Avenue

 

Winter Newsletter

The Old Greenwich Association lent its support to the Old Greenwich Merchants Association in lobbying the Town to replace selected trees on Sound Beach Avenue with ones that would provide increased shade, better sight lines and a more "New Englandy" feel. Over 300 local residents signed a petition supporting this measure. However, there were many others who disagreed, and a public hearing was held on the matter. All sides were well represented and eloquent in making their points, and after several days of consideration, Town of Greenwich Tree Warden Bruce Spaman has decided to begin a plan of pruning and maintenance, and not to remove any trees at this time.

In addition to this hearing drawing attention to the needs of the downtown village trees, one of the best things to come up was the call for more study to look into what else could be done to beautify the area. Now the ball is rolling, and at this moment there are individuals and groups planning to organize and look into trees, plantings, benches, signage and more in order to make Old Greenwich an even more attractive place to live, work and shop. If you want to read more about this, the official decision from Mr. Spaman is posted below.  As always, if anyone has any questions or wants to volunteer to help, please contact us here at the OGA.
