I voted no - this thing is a joke. it's not a public facilty, it's a truck shed. you can buy steelRead More garage enclosures for $200K that will accomplish the exact same result.

Well said Mr. Franks! A new town garage is needed, but not at that price tag. The town leadershipRead More needs to offer a far better option to the voters than this. I am also voting NO...

Another person claiming the people of Canton are not informed... but you offer no information, justRead More your opinion that we should blindly vote yes. No has yet been able to articulate the "why" and the "value"... what is the return on investment in this pet project? This garage is an absolute SCAM... it's someone's get-rich quick scheme and they will be walking away with $4M and we will be left with a $1.4M garage that isn't needed.

@Larry. Thanks for the reply. I don't know the details of these sites or why they weren't chosen butRead More I do have a few initial thoughts. First, one of the concerns of opponents of the Commerce Drive location is that the garage is a danger to nearby residents, children, bikers and seniors. Those concerns would still exist and would likely be worse in any of the 3 locations you mentioned. In other words, the same problems as the opponents raise now would remain. Second, River Road and Lawton Road are already designated for youth sports. Given the lack of flat land and the shortage of fields in Canton, I don't see how these fields would be replaced. Fields can be built at the River Rd and Lawton Road locations but not on Commerced River. As for the state-owned parcel, I think the state owns that as open space - not land for a town garage. Third, if the people on Lawton Road got so upset about the CVS, I could only imagine the uproar if the town garage is built there! Some don't even want the park! Fourth, I think there is some builout problems with lawton road regarding utilities which makes the site difficult to work with. (or so I read/was told) However, thank you again for the reply. the only real option besides commerce drive is River Road, but as I mentioned above, the opponent's concerns regarding safety would still exist and likely be even worse - right by the bike trail, kids in the area, near a major road, near homes. I don't think that site would satisfy them.

@Steve. Kudos! Nice to see some common sense and decency. The actions of "Citizens for aRead More Better Canton" have been shameful to say the least - attacking critics, distributing misleading information and attacking the good people who volunteer their time to make Canton a better place to live.
Steve Roberto May 21, 2013 at 04:05 pm
It makes me chuckle when someone spends weeks mudslinging, finger pointing, and pot shotting untilRead More the targets of their harassments speak up and then they decide the game is over, well sorry, I have only just begun. I was sickened by the behavior of certain people at the town meeting scheduled to discuss this garage project. Most of them where given a script to read using lies and incorrect numbers to attack members of town boards and commission. They attacked the intelligence, ethics, and integrity of members of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Finance, Permanent Municipal Building Committee and project consultants. You have even managed to involve our neighbors from Barkhamsted in your May 15 Patch submission, referring to them as “Hairshirt wearing radicals who don’t wash their cars”, again full of incorrect numbers and misinformation. I am attending a Board of Ethics Meeting tonight to defend myself from mud slung on me by those finger pointers trying to distract from the facts at hand. These very same people told this town that they wanted a football field and they wanted a pool. They said that the folks in Canton deserved these things. They understood that these things came with a price tag and they were ready to pay it. Funny how the song has changed now that we have changed our focus to a much less glamorous project. Perhaps if we were proposing a hockey rink or an equestrian team $5.4 million wouldn’t be so much.

Sorry Wayne, the real reason was our elected "leaders" couldn't produce a clear case forRead More why we should vote yes and they were unwilling to allow anyone else to bring viable solutions to the table.
Peter May 22, 2013 at 06:03 pm
There is one BIG BIG thing missing from this entire six year long process. the need was neverRead More assessed, there is no return on investment, it's complete overkill and wasteful spending and no one challenged the outrageously over priced estimates. And this was not very public... all the key documents are pretty well hidden on Canton's site.. if you don't happen to get the secret hidden link then you won't get the facts. you want facts.. go here: http://www.townofcantonct.org/content/74/14580.aspx and be prepared to be violently mad! $47,500 for grub removal on the lawn $20,000 to cut down 2 trees (doesn't the town do that already?) $3,000 for a flag-less flag pole $4,000 break room counter $1,000 for a one urinal screen $5,000 for a toilet paper dispenser $10,000 locker for our few employees $500,000 for A/C so our trucks stay cool in the summer $16,000 for a hot water tank (sears has for $400) and many many many more scams
