CarFit Safety Program

For Senior Drivers

SOUTHBURY â On Saturday, October 22, from 10 am to 2 pm, the Aging in Place Resource Center will present its second CarFit Safety Program for Senior Drivers. This free, 12-point testing of drivers aged 65 and older will help participants learn how their personal cars âfitâ their current capabilities and needs for safety.Â

Supported with volunteers from Easter Seals, CarFit check-ups for seniors will be conducted in collaboration with AAA-American Automobile Association, AARP, American Society on Aging, and the American Occupational Therapy Association to help senior drivers learn if their cars need adjustments or adaptations for greater safety.

CarFit testing will be held in the rear of Union Square Plaza, 385 Main Street South, but testing spots are limited. To reserve space, call The Aging In Place Resource Center at 877-262-1671.

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
