The New Canaan Farmers market operating out of Center School lot for 20 years will need to move while the new 40,000 square-foot library is under construction.
First Selectman Kevin Moynihan said he was in full support of finding a new home for the market and suggested the Lumbar yard parking lot during the Parking Commission meeting when parking for the new library was discussed on Monday Feb. 22.

As the Parking Commission debates the future of the Center School Parking Lot as parking for the new library, I would like to ask that all town governing bodies re-consider a proposal made last summer. It was suggested that the town trade the Center School Lot for the library property, and that the new Llbrary be constructed at the site of the former Center School.
The new library will easily fit in the Center School Lot with ample room for necessary library parking, and landscaping, and perhaps also room for some municipal parking. One level of underground parking either under the library or buried beneath a landscaped lawn should be possible. The library might even be able to generate revenue from leasing long-term parking space to commuters and people who work downtown.
