Comments for BOR Regular Board Meeting 5/4/2020 (please limit to 450 words) 4/28/2020 15:06:56 Kieran Matthew Edmondson To the Board of Representatives, Good evening to all of you. My name is Kieran Edmondson, and, I speak on behalf of the Board of Representatives, about the continuing threat of the coronavirus epidemic, that is still hurting many of our residents, Seniors, children, families, and, other related individuals of the Stamford community, on finding many more ways to combat this virus, as soon as possible. To the Board of Representatives, another issue that concerns me the most, about this COVID-19 situation, is to be delivering more supplies, of soaps, hand sanitizers, masks, gloves, and, other related supplies, that are being held at the Stamford Police Department, Chester Addison Community Center, Stamford Hospital, nursing homes in Stamford, and, other related social, health, and, safety organizations, that should receive more of these supplies, whether they must be paid for, or, just free of charge, so, we can continue to protect our health, our lives, our families, our neighbors, our community, and, our near coming future. To the Board of Representatives, I hope that this comment finds all of you, the very most important concerns, during this difficult time of the human dignity, and, I thank you all for your time, to hear my public comment. Thank you all once again, good night, take care, stay safe, healthy, protected, secure, and, continue to isolate yourselves. From, Kieran Matthew Edmondson, To, the Stamford Board of Representatives Waterside Traffic Project Stuart Katz <[email protected]> Tue 4/28/2020 7:31 PM To:Rosenson, Valerie <[email protected]>; Please distribute my comments below to the members of the Board of Representaves and have them read aloud during the public parcipaon period. Many thanks, Stuart _____________________________________________ From: Stuart Katz <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 10, 2020 10:00 AM To: Valerie T. Rosenson <[email protected]>; The Honorable David R. Marn <[email protected]> Subject: Waterside Traffic Project Dear Ms. Valerie T. Rosenson and The Honorable David R. Marn: As a Waterside homeowner and President of Southfield Point Associaon, Incorporated, a 41 member home owners’ associaon, I would like to add my voice to those requesng the Board of Representaves take up the issues related to the Waterside traffic improvement project at its upcoming May meeng. Traffic e ups are an ever increasing problem for those living in Waterside and the city needs to address the issue. I must say don’t believe the issue actually being debated is regarding the city’s use of eminent domain, though every effort is being made to characterize it as such. Some members of the Board are aempng to characterize the issue as the big, bad metropolis taking advantage of the small defenseless homeowner by its use of the overwhelming power of eminent domain. Whereas, a more apt characterizaon is that of a city is being held up by (i) a savvy owner of an investment property trying to extract the last nickel from a polically hamstrung Board and, possibly, (ii) Representaves who are seeking to wield polical power to achieve other objecves or seling old scores. Respecully submied, Stuart B. Katz 128 Davenport Dr. Stamford, Conneccut Waterside & South End Traffic Improvements project Jordan Dolger <[email protected]> Wed 4/29/2020 11:56 AM To:Rosenson, Valerie <[email protected]>; Dear Ms. Valerie Rosenson, I am writing you to express my full support the traffic improvement projects planned for Waterside and the South End. As a local realtor living and servicing the Waterside area, the traffic issue has become problematic for myself personally as a homeowner as well as perspective home buyers considering the Waterside area when they witness first hand the traffic issues for the area. Please proceed with the project in its entirety. I respectfully request that my comments be distributed to the Board of Representatives members and read during the public participation period.

This project is a waste of taxpayers money. This will only benefit Charter and BLT. Why do board members continue to vote for numerous high-rises when there are numerous traffic problems all over our city. Widening Pulaski st. And Washington Blvd. Will not solve our problems. Put our money to better use, fix our roads and sidewalks. We do not need bike lanes for years I have not seen people riding bikes. I am against this project. Thank You. Marlene g Rhome. Vote in favor of eminent domain use to restart traffic plan. Emile de Neree <[email protected]> Thu 4/30/2020 11:26 AM To:Rosenson, Valerie <[email protected]>; Martin, David <[email protected]>; Cc:[email protected] <[email protected]>; de la Cruz, Virgil <[email protected]>; Chris Bastis <[email protected]>; Larry Fenster <[email protected]>; Dear Valerie Rosenson, As a twenty year resident in Dolphin Cove , I have witnessed the steady increase in traffic from new construction on Fairfield Ave and increased employment at Gartner and Point 72. The bottle neck created by this increased traffic has made our ability to get to the train station and out of our Waterside community in stop and go traffic impossible at times. We have been promised for at least the last 4 years that the solution and plans to resolve this issue with a traffic circle had been approved and funded and still the City of Stamford has not begun work. I strongly support the use of eminent domain, since it appears that all reasonable offers to buy the property have failed and the owner(s) is holding out for a better deal. It is clearly to be benefit of thousands of property owners and commuters to have this issue resolved at the up coming Monday meeting. I trust you will record my strong vote in favor of, and read out loud to the committee, the use of eminent domain to be able to proceed with this traffic work benefiting the entire Waterside Community. It is a shame and embarrassment that the committee has held up this important project for so long.

Members of the Stamford board of representatives: my name is Mike g Papa. First and foremost I am very sorry for the loss of The Honorables Spadaccini and Bryant to the COVID 19 . They were very passionated about working for the well being of everyone in the city and they will be missed for a long long time I understand your unique role as part time representation it is difficult . Today Stamford it is a complex city . Only EXCELLENCE will save moneys and improve the quality of life and successful business activity. I understand we must protect freedom , but this does not means we must jeopardize the safety and health for everyone. During this DEADLY CRISIS we managed to become the EPICENTER of our State as a result of reckless management ( Bridgeport did much better issuing discipline) we failed to protect the health care workers on time , and failed to reduce the spread to most people with no MASKS anywhere.The Mayor office refused to issue masks I suggested two months ago . They claimed that only the sick would get the masks. Now they have changed the mind in this regard and distribute masks when the damage was already done ! .. (( In our humble opinion it do not make sense this type of reckless management style )) The only way out this mediocrity it is for your unique role to be changed from a part time no pay representation to one like full time with a salary but represents the people like a sheriff ! The role you must play should be to defend the integrity of liberty and justice for everyone. ... There is a rat race going on today out there ! Only your true involvement will be able to reflect the WILL OF THE PEOPLE .other city’s close by are a bit better but looking at the failures we are struggling I feel it is TIME FOR A CHANGE for everyone I understand it is difficult! But at this point considering the consequences it is necessary,. Sincerely Mike g Papa. 203-252-1954. Re: Good afternoon Trez <[email protected]> Sat 5/2/2020 7:17 AM To:Rosenson, Valerie <[email protected]>; As I understand the Board is addressing this issue again this week, I am taking the liberty of resending my original endorsement of the Pulaski Street widening project In truth, the project is even more necessary last month as construction continues in the South End of new dwellings.
