During the 1967 municipal elections, a candidate for first selectman
referred to parking as New Canaan’s “worst single logistical problem.”

All around the park, a crew of 12 mixed, poured and leveled the porous,
much-ballyhooed mixture of recycled tire, stone and polyurethane
binding agent.
Florida-based K.B. Industries’ Northeast Regional Sales Manager George
Barnum estimated that the trail will be completed by the middle of next

The trail is closed until installation of the surface is complete.
The Board of Selectmen on Tuesday approved extending work hours from 7

York and Florida can use their time in the area more effectively.
