We, the undersigned, respectfully OPPOSE the Westport Downtown Plan Implementation Committee’s (“Downtown PIC”) proposed plan to eliminate the Parker Harding Access Road and forty-four parking spaces as part of a larger proposal to re-conceptualize and redesign Parker Harding Plaza. If approved, this proposed plan will result in a dramatic increase in traffic throughout Westport and make finding Downtown parking more difficult.

The Westport Downtown Plan Implementation Committee is an appointed committee responsible for initiating and carrying out the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan (“DMP” or “Plan”). We encourage the Westport Downtown Plan Implementation Committee to propose a viable alternative that does not impose further burdens on the residents of Westport, visitors, and downtown business owners/employees.
