NORWALK, Conn. The City is free to begin construction on a new softball field at Brien McMahon High School, even if neighbors are not persuaded that the lights won’t be shining into their homes.
“This is a beautiful street, a beautiful community. And it’s going to be destroyed by that dome of light that is going to sit there,” James Wehrle said Wednesday, unsuccessfully trying to convince the Norwalk Zoning Commission not to approve the field and its 60-foot-tall light poles.

Wednesday’s Common Council Recreation and Parks Committee meeting on Zoom.
NORWALK, Conn. Norwalk Council members are searching for a way to improve maintenance of the City’s athletic fields in the spring, when the demand exceeds the Recreation and Parks Department’s supply of labor.
It’s a “broken record” every year, people complaining about the fields, Council member Thomas Keegan (R-District D) said. “No one’s to blame, it’s just, I think, the whole system and the process.”
“We’re almost in an impossible situation,” Acting Recreation and Parks Department Director Ken Hughes said.
Trash in school playgrounds was also touched upon in the Council Recreation and Parks Committee meeting Wednesday, which ended with concrete action: a unanimous vote to recommend the Personnel Committee work with AFSCME Local 2405 to attempt outsourcing maintenance for some fields during the peak season that’s causing complaints.
