I have traveled down Danbury's Padanaram Road toward Route 37 for the last 24 years of my life. I am amazed at the recent development on this roadway.
Since the opening of Elmer's Diner, chaos is the only word that comes to mind to describe this situation.
The parking situation is out of control. People are parking on the roadway, as well as across the street in the shopping center and attempting to stop traffic to cross the street. This situation is unsafe and the city was irresponsible in allowing this type of business to be placed at this location.
If I remember correctly, this piece of property was only approved for a small house for Ann's Place. Under the original proposed plan, the traffic would have been very minimal and the interference with traffic flow would have been at a minimum.
I am very concerned for the safety and well-being of pedestrians, patrons, travelers, etc., at this location.
In my opinion, it's a disaster waiting to happen. I pray to God that I am wrong.
Mayor Boughton, please don't blame the prior administration. The zoning requirements were changed during your administration in the last six years.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
Well, one thing is for certain...she's no part-time mayoral candidate!
