The New Canaan Police Station is in dire need of an update.  First Selectman Kevin Moynihan has suggested that the town, instead of renovating the station on the current property, should instead build a new station on the Saxe Middle School fields.  His proposed solution is fraught with problems, including the following: it would take away much needed green space, it would decrease the number of youth athletic fields (already in high demand), and it would have enormous traffic consequences in a high traffic, multi school area.  Furthermore, it doesn't seem to provide the town with any cost savings.  

Instead, renovating or rebuilding the station on the existing property has numerous benefits...and no downsides!  Traffic patterns are already established, the station is ideally situated near the town center, and it is adjacent the EMS station (critical).  And while no building or site will be 100% perfect, renovating the existing property would, according to Chief Krolikowski, fulfill an impressive 98% of the police department's needs.  Let's renovate New Canaan's Police Station where it stands today!
