The distruction of over a dozen living trees to add to the wasteland at the train station

It has been over two weeks since the parking lots on the westbound side of the train station have been either totally blocked off or partially closed off due to "construction" in the parking lots.
In the last two weeks the only construction that has taken place is men and women walking around with bright yellow vests pointing hither and yon with plans in their hands.
To add insult to injury, my spies tell me that over a dozen "LIVING" trees are going to be removed from the area for this mystical construction.
The three large trees on Main Street, two more in the roundabout in front of the Station House Wine Bar and Grill and coffee shop along with two or three adjacent to the westbound tracks are all going to be"removed" for construction.
If that area used to look like Dresden Germany after the bombings it will probably now look more like the Gobi Desert.
The commuters who used the lots, (I have been a commuter for many years) have now been forced to park on Linden Avenue and or Church Street or in the parking lot of Stratford Square near the former fitness center.
The car thieves from Bridgeport must be happy at all that new merchandise on Linden Avenue and Church Street.
Commuters are for the most part creatures of habit.
The sit in the same railroad car in the same seat and park their vehicles in the same locations every day.
This so called improvement to train station parking is probably causing much stress to the commuters who pay a high price to park.
On the subject of the Stratford Square lot, for month, after month I have been badgering town hall and anyone who would listen to pave the walkway that connects the eastbound lot to the Stratford Square.
NOTHING, NOTHING, NO RESPONSE FROM TOWN HALL.
That is one of the reasons I have renounced my affilation for the town Republican Party.
There will be more to come later from me including legal actions against the town, (The Toma's de Torquemada STFD P.D. the Carrus Mortibus STDS EMS and the election officials.)
Wonder of wonders, the earth moved, stars fell from the sky and the walkway was PAVED the day the commuters started using the Stratford Square lot.
It must have been a very large contributer to the local or state party who probably turned an ankle or snapped an expensive high heel on the walkway.
It is clear the town government could give a rats a** if the teenagers and senior citizens who used the walkway to get to their minimum wage jobs all winter long were injured.
Back to the problems on Main Street and the parking lots.
The lack of construction over the last two weeks has been driving customers out of the downtown area, no matter what certain people who are still trying to run downtown are saying.
Hardest hit are the owners of the Doughnut Inn, the Station House Wine Bar and Grill and coffee shop (lost two thirds of its parking spaces)and the Siena Restaurant.
All of the business owners at Station House Square along with the owners of the four downtown restaurants on Main Street and the business owners of the barber shop and Last Call Wine and Spirits in the other little shopping center have allegedly  noted a downturn in the number of customers coming through their doors since the"construction" has begun.
Commuters who use to hit the Doughnut Inn and the Station House Coffee Shop for an order  of coffee and sugar are now probably turning up for work in a real bad mood.
I have not talked to the owner of the Station House Wine Bar and Grill, because I probably would get the same answer I got the last time 'all I am trying to do is run a business."
Two thirds of the parking spaces are gone, the restaurant and coffee shop are "out of the way" for commuters and customers.
Thats the facts.
If I was the owner of Station House and paying rent to the town, they would get a rent check for just half the usual amount:"construction costs".
If a large guy with a large axe and a big blue ox show up in town the trees are due to be cut down.
I am now planing a sit-in when the construction crews try to remove the roundabout from in front of the restaurant.
If I handcuff myself to a tree in protest, it will also give the Torquemada and the Carrus Mortibus another shot to "tune me up" again. The left shoulder and leg still work.
There is also the traffic problem with the commuters parking in the Stratford Square parking lot.
There are two exits from the square.
One on Barnum Avenue extension and the other on Veterans Boulevard.
The traffic was terrible before the commuters and is worse now.
Traffic forced to turn into Veterans Boulevard from Barnum Avenue Extension usually is backed up on Barnum Avenue as the Greater Bridgeport Transit District buses make the turn onto the boulevard.
Two friends who own a real-estate firm in New York recently did the Metro North trip to look at the site.
Their comments "Are the nuts, its prime property, you could put four or even five small business on Main Street and move the parking further back saving (what they called) a small green way".
I told them about the tree cutting and their response was "Only in Stratford, kiddies, only in Stratford."
I agree, what a total mess.
