Stratfield Neighborhood to Increase Wilson Street Pedestrian Connectivity Written by Sarah Roy
Fairfield, CT On January 5, 2020, a car traveling west on Wilson Street at excessive speeds ran over a resident’s yard, tore up the lawn and crushed a small tree, then crossed the street and crashed into a tree trunk in front of 419 Wilson, totaling the front of the car. This was not the first car crash on Wilson (there have been more than 25 known crashes on this street since 2015), but it became a catalyst for Wilson Street residents and neighbors who live nearby to come together and demand safety and road design improvements for Wilson that would make it safe and comfortable for all users, including the dozens of pedestrians, cyclists, families, and school-age children who use the street daily.
Position of authority and say i m worried about this young man. maybe he s not going to shoot anybody except himself which is bad enough, but we have a society where there s so much disconnection and people are afraid to come forward because they are afraid they are snitching or they are looking to someone else s business. in fact, we re a disconnected society. if people saw anything and said anything beforehand, maybe not here but in these other situations, the situation would never have happened. yeah. so we have to do something that s caring and connected before it happens, not just during and while it happens. i m glad you said caring and connected. many times when people are having problems or their personalities change in some way people back away from them because they don t want to be involved or they are not acting like themselves. i don t want to be a part of that when the exact opposite should probably happen. glad you said that. dr. pollack, i want to follow up on thi

i m glad you said caring and connected. many times when people are having problems or their personalities change in some way people back away from them because they don t want to be involved or they are not acting like themselves. i don t want to be a part of that when the exact opposite should probably happen. glad you said that. dr. pollack, i want to follow up on this. you talked about where he chose to do it. doesn t sound like he knew his victims but certainly chose a public place to commit the act. what motivates someone to kill people they don t know in such a public location? we re into assumptions. assuming he didn t know him, the public location is telling people look at pain i m in. look at how i ve been suffering. look at what s been done to me and look at how hopeless i am and no one cares. well, now, people are going to care. unfortunately, in a very painful way and in a very negative way in a way that maybe beforehand they could have been more caring and we would hav
