MWC 15 Special
Earlier this week, Google has updated its Google Maps Mobile for Android and as expected and announced by Google, Google Maps 4.2 for Android now features biking directions, a new service layer Google launched back in March for the Google Maps web version. Furthermore, Google Maps Mobile now features a shortcut to start Google Maps Navigation straight from from the Home screen and programs menu and it finally allows to share places and locations with friends via messaging, E-Mail or social services like Twitter and Facebook.
Biking directions - Since launching biking directions on desktop Google Maps, Google wanted to get biking directions, lanes and trails to phones too. Just in time for National Bike Month (in the U.S.), users can now select the bike icon when getting directions to get an optimal bicycling route. in the U.S. Google Maps Mobile 4.2 also features a Bicycling layer on the map which shows dedicated bike-only trails (dark green), roads with bike lanes (light green) or roads that are good for biking but lack a dedicated lane (dashed green).
Google Maps Biking directions is yet available in North America only and not offered outside the U.S.
Google Navigation shortcut - The new Navigation shortcut allows to pick-up a destination straight from the home screen to start Google Maps Navigation with 2 taps only. Just select the Navigation icon in your phone's app launcher or home screen to get the new destination selection view.
Then, speak or type your destination, pick one from your contacts, choose a starred place or select a recent destination. Navigation will begin and you're good to go.
Sharing - From any search results page, it's now possible to "Share this place" to send that place's info, such as its address and phone number, to whomever you like. If you want to meet someone on a street corner or gather friends at an outdoor concert, you can also send an exact location from the map - even a snapshot of your current location. Just use the share option after selecting a point on the map, your "My Location" blue dot, or yourself in Latitude if it's enabled.
Whether you're sharing a place or a location, you'll be able to send it to small groups via an E-Mail or text message or send it widely with apps like Google Buzz, Facebook or Twitter.
Google Maps Mobile 4.2 for Android is now available from the Android Market and requires Android 1.6 or greater. It's available in all the countries and languages where Maps is currently available but might not support all features in the certain country.
Cheers ~ Arne

Top French court overturns 75 percent tax rate for rich
Issued on: Modified:
France's highest legal body, the Constitutional Council, announced on Saturday it was overturning the Socialist government's flagship 75 percent income tax rate for high earners, marking an embarassing setback for President François Hollande.
French President François Hollande was dealt an embarassing blow on Saturday when the country's highest legal body scrapped his controversial 75 percent upper income tax rate.
The Constitutional Council announced it was overturning the 75 percent bracket on income over 1 million euros ($1.32million) because it was "excessive" and represented a "breach of equality of taxes."
The French government responded to the decisions by insisting it would push on with plans to impose the reform and would be submitting a revised proposal for the 75 percent upper rate in its 2013 budget.
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the ruling was a "symbolic but not severe censure" and pledged to ensure the measure was adopted.
"The government will propose a new system that conforms with the principles laid down by the decision of the Constitutional Council. It will be presented in the framework of the next Finance Act," he said in a statement.
"We want to maintain" the measure "because it symbolises the need for the effort to be more fairly shared," he added.
The council's decision to ditch Hollande's flagship tax reform came after members of the opposition UMP party had asked it to review whether the levy was legal under the constitution.
The Council members, known as "the sages" decided that the way the upper tax rate was set to be imposed was unfair in the way it would affect different households.
The Council is concerned the tax would hit a married couple where one partner earned above a million euros but it would not affect a couple where each earned just under a million euros.
Depardieu departs
The decision by France's Constitutional Council to scrap the 75 percent upper income tax bracket was welcomed by the country's professional football chiefs on Saturday.
The president of the Ligue de football professionel (LFP) Frederic Thiriez said the move to overturn the tax reform represented a "great and indispensible collective victory" for French football.
"We were right to fight agaisnt it," Thieriez told AFP. "Right from the beginning we sounded the alarm over the dangers ot a tax, that would have had disastrous consequences for the clubs."
The tax rate, which was passed by France's National Assembly in October, had infuriated high earners including acclaimed actor Gerard Depardieu, was due to be introduced in 2013.
Depardieu caused uproar earlier this month when he revealed he was moving to Belgium to seek tax exile status, blaming the government's tax policies. The council's decision may now make the actor think twice about selling his Paris mansion and upping sticks.
To opponents of the seven-month-old Socialist government, Depardieu's move confirmed their fears that the 75 percent tax rate would spark a mass exodus of France's most wealthy.
The measure, which Hollande insisted would only be a temporary move to help reduce public deficit, would only have to be paid by an estimated 1,500 people.
The tax reform was viewed as a symbolic move with Hollande keen for the rich to help the country during hard times. It is estimated the levy would have provided the government with an extra 210 million euros per year.
France is struggling to plug a 37 billion euro hole in its public finances to meet its target of reducing the budget deficit to the EU ceiling of three percent in 2013.
The 2013 budget included 12.5 billion euros in spending cuts and 20 billion euros in new taxes on individuals and businesses.

This post continues to stand alone, as an on-going tribute not only to the accident that profoundly changed who I would become, but to my only brother, who I miss always and especially on this day.
August 9
Even though 38 years have passed, as soon as the calendar flips to August, I am transported back to that day, the day that forever changed the trajectory of my life. It always coincides with the heat of August. It was so hot that day.
I have moved through the grief and the survivor's guilt while the pain of his loss lingers. I sometimes think how my life would have been. I suspect every single thing would have been different. I would not have become who I am, my relationship with my family would be entirely different had they not been broken by his death, I would have likely married earlier and someone else, I may have not had the career I had, or the sons and husband I have now. I can't even conjure who that eleven year old girl would have grown up to be. She is a ghost.
And, my brother, too, is a ghost. He would have gotten married and I know he would have had children. He would have been such a great and proud uncle to my sons and our holidays would have been complete with him and his family present. But, he is forever frozen in time, a young teen-ager, taken too soon.
Even though my heart hangs heavy on this particular anniversary I am also reminded that I would likely not have the many gifts that make up the me that I am today. I wouldn't have the love of horses that I do; I wouldn't have the daily gratitude and profound respect for this one life I have to life; I would have never developed my resourcefulness, self-protection, compassion, or deep sense of self; I would have never become so self-reliant and independent which allowed me to embark on my successful and gratifying career in sales; I likely wouldn't have switched elementary schools following the accident which means I would have probably gone to a different high school and college; I may have continued on to become a lawyer, which is what my parents wanted for me; I may have married young, even my college sweet heart and I would have had entirely different children; I would be an entirely different person walking around in this skin.
When I connect the dots from that tragic yesterday to my happy today, I am humbled by the knowledge that had things not unfolded as they did, I would not have my husband and we would not have our sons. Of course, I can never know what life with someone else and other children might have been like, but I do know that I love my boys, in my heart, in my soul, and in my bones.
And so, it is on this day, brother, a day where I miss you profoundly, that I say thank you. Your death was not in vain. I have tried to make the most of the second chance at life that I was given and I am utterly and completely grateful that it all led me to this life and to my family. My adorable, challenging, sweet, smart, spirited, loving, talented H and the almost always smiling, joyous, cherubic Baby G. You would love them and they you. I send a hug up and out through the universe to you. I love and miss you, brother.
Although you can't be here with me,
We're truly not apart,
Until the final breath I take,
You'll be living in my heart.
~Excerpted from a Bereavement Verse

| Rating:
First ingredient is a named meat product, high quality ingredients.
Minimum acceptable meat content.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product in meal form. This is the sole meat ingredient in the food.
The second and third ingredients are grains both rice and whole grain. This is decent quality. The remaining ingredients are oil and vitamins/minerals
Overall this food is a good quality product and contains good quality ingredients without any harmful nasties. It is a food aimed at dogs who suffer from allergies with only three main ingredients. This enables us to be reasonably confident that there is a minimum of 30% meat content in the food, since the meat meal ingredient is listed first of the three ingredients that make up the vast bulk of the food. This is enough for us to give this food a four star rating, but a higher meat content would be required to rate the food more highly.
This food would be highly suitable for individuals that suffer from allergies, sensitive stomachs, or as part of a rotation with other foods that contain different meat protein sources and a range of fruits/vegetables.

text: This season's variety of cardigans finds the open-front knit breaking free from the preppy associations that it intrinsically calls to mind. An emerging penchant for asymmetry translates to cropped lengths and artisinal patchworks that tie together a decidedly deconstructed look. Yet even convention-adhering designs follow suit on this unconventional take on the cardigan, offering relaxed, oversized styles alongside more streamlined cuts. Blending varsity signifiers with sportswear-infused stripes, many pieces in this curated selection emphasize the piece's collegiate connotations. Yet a winkingly geriatric kitsch-factor is brought forth through exuberant graphics, similar to the way colorblocked check patterns accentuate a characteristically playful aesthetic motif. Remaining conscious of the fact that cardigans are often used as a nonintrusive layer piece, this season also pushes reliably straightforward designs that are essential wear for all seasons. By appropriating a sweater variation that has been pigeonholed as having a sort of anti-fashion stance, this latest selection of cardigans hints at a renewed sense of interest in the piece.

Four days of spectacular competitions, light and strong wind conditions at the beach of Castelldefels came to a fabulous end, when the European Championship in Kiteboarding Freestyle as well as the winners of the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe in Course Racing were crowned. 97 riders out of 19 nations participated in Spain.

Late-Night Brawl Sends Infamous Police Officer to Hospital
Some refugees and residents in Kakuma describe the attack on a police officer with mix feelings.
An administration police officer, Satati, based in the Jabelmarra zone of the Kakuma refugee camp fell into hot distilleries waste while fighting with suspected refugees in kakuma1 zone2 block11. The officer sustained serious injuries from his chest to his toes which were submerged in hot distilleries waste on fire in a drum. He was rushed to hospital after the incident was reported to police by Wami, an incentive refugee staff.
The incident happened on Christmas Eve, 25 December 2011 at 10:45pm in the refugee camp residential blocks. According to UNHCR camp regulations, no humanitarian officials – including the police – are allowed to stay or spend the night in the camps residential area after 06:00 PM.
Early that evening, however, Satati was seen in the residential area at Jack city restaurant in block11 where he had drinks with Wami who is described to be close to the police office. Satati was not in police uniform and did not carry his gun on him. He separated with Wami at about 09:00PM. His whereabouts between 09:00PM and 10:45PM are unknown. It was reported that Satati entered into the house where Zeina, a refugee woman, was sleeping. Satati woke her up by pushing her door but when she spoke to him Satati did not respond. He entered the lady's house with no explanation, saying to Zeina "Nyamaza," a Kiswahili word that means "keep quite." Zeina screamed loudly out of fear that Satati was a robber. Zeina's brother Tae came to her rescue only to find Satati chasing Zeina outside the compound. Tae knew the police office. When he tried to ask what his mission was at that hour of the night, Satati started murmuring that he lost his way. They started exchanging harsh words and a fight broke between them. While retreating, Satati accidentally fell down in the hot distilleries drum placed on the shallow grounds in a corner of the compound where he was severely burnt.
As soon as Tae realized what had happened, he came to the rescue of the officer and removed Satati out of the burning drum. Several neighbours arrived at the scene, including Wami, and alerted the police and an ambulance that took the injured Satati to the Refugee Camp Hospital. Satati was given First Aid and was transferred to the Kakuma Mission Hospital where he was under intensive care for over three weeks.
The police visited the scene the following morning. Tae and Zeina were taken to the station where they were accompanied by block leaders. They were asked to record their statements. After being interrogated over assaulting Satati, they were told to go back to their community. Tae, the young man who fought with Satati, fled the camp to South Sudan after learning that he was wanted by police.
However some refugees who knew Satati described him assaulting refugees during the Food Distribution Rations. He was repeatedly found mistreating refugees and was perceived to have negative opinions of the refugees generally. "He has no mercy; he used to beat people like dogs at food distribution centers. We know him for bad things, now he has caused problems for our people," said a refugee leader in zone2 speaking anonymously.
Others reported that the police officer has harassed refugees about minor things. Many who have dealings with Satati are not happy with him. Many humanitarian officials are, of course, very kind and humble despite few exceptions who misuse their power to marginalize refugees in the camps. Moreover humanitarian officials frequently come to the refugee residential area and spend time with refugees. A woman openly admitted that she illegally sells alcohol because she has no other livelihood to sustain her children as the food rations are not enough. "We sell this product because of the problems. The food rations are not enough. No money, no vegetables, we are forced to confront many challenges," said a Lotuko woman who asked to remain anonymous.
The community feels threatened by the action of police forces. On the morning of 28 December 2011, government security officers invaded the entire community with local commanders and caused a stand-still for hours. Refugees in the zone2 blocks were assaulted by the regular and administration police forces that were sent to arrest criminals and dealers of alcohol in those blocks. In the process of looking for the criminals and sellers of illegal breweries, several refugees reported being beaten by police who were bitter and vengeful due to Satati, the injured fellow police officer.
"I was beaten inside my houses. The police searched my house without any notice. I had to be treated at the camp hospital," said a woman in block11. "My 4 year-old child was knocked down by a soldier in my compound. She was unconscious for 2 days; she also had to be treated at the hospital," added a parent.
According to residents, about eight police vehicles full of armed officers surrounded the blocks and started beating people and kicking any thing on their way. "There were 8 police patrol vehicles, everyone was scared… Two officers entered my house, as I stood outside perplexed," said an NGO staff residing in block11. Community members in block 11 and 12 ran away and spent over three nights elsewhere in search of safety away from the police.
The community members have described the actions of police officers as violating community policy and their human rights. The members stated that the whole Equatoria community should not be targeted in reaction to alleged wrongdoing by one individual of the community. "If the police knew any criminality done by people who fought with the injured police man, why did they release them after the first arrest? Innocent children feels terrorized… Where are their rights?" asked an angry youth at block4. The most affected blocks are blocks 11, 12, 4, 2 and 1.
On the December 31st, women and men from the Equatoria community assembled for a peaceful demonstration at the UNHCR Sub – Office Kakuma. The community raised their grievances following police brutality and demanded an explanation for why the entire community was targeted between December 28th and December 31st in what appeared to be acts of police vengeance. A delegation of fifteen protesters, including leaders, met with a UNHCR official to address these. The UNHCR official promised the group that there would be immediate follow-up by the agency.
Lodwar Court
Seven refugees were arrested and six were taken to a Kenyan court in Lodwar in connection to the incident. Among the six were a boy attending primary school, three women and a girl attending minor school. Saira, a pupil at Angelina Julie Girls Primary School in Kakuma camp was arrested on 28 December 2011 in a shop while buying washing powder in a shop. She and the other suspects were arraigned at the Lodwar court and sentenced to fines and imprisonment. Saira was taken back to Kakuma due to her age and to not having accompanying parents. She was locked in a Kakuma police cell from Dec 28th, 2011 to January 4th, 2012. Saira was released when her parent was able to raise Ksh. 5,000 for bail. Her parent demanded to know what crimes was Saira charged with but nothing was disclosed to them. "I asked the police to explain what crimes were committed by my daughter. She was locked in for 8 days. But I was not informed of anything. The police officer told me to go and pay the fine for her release but I didn't have money that week," said the parent.
The six suspected refugees appeared before the Lodwar Magistrate Court on 28 December 2011 and were charged with attacking the police office as well as manufacturing and consuming illegal alcohol. The court made ruling in each case on that day. None of the accused and imprisoned refugees were able to secure legal representation to accompany them from the UNHCR protection office at Kakuma.
Nyim was charged with illegally manufacturing breweries. Nyanga a mother of five was found drinking alcohol and was arrested with her thre month-old baby girl. She was imprisoned together with the child for eight months. Her family was scheduled by UNHCR for an eligibility test. Given the absence of the head of the family, the food ration of the family of six was reduced to four which rendered the four kids vulnerable to hunger. They had instead hoped that UNHCR would act on behalf of the family to release the imprisoned baby who was with the mother in Lodwar prison.
Another woman, Ditaz, was arrested for the same incident; however she was able to defend herself without legal representation and explained that she had no connection with the police allegations. She stated that she did not know why she was arrested and brought before the court. She was washing clothes when her neighbours who were suspected of brewing ran away. The police arrested her without asking any questions. The judge found in her favor and she was released two weeks later in January 2012.
Chimy was also detained in Lodwar until she could wait for the next hearing on 2 January 2012 when she was fined Ksh 5,000.00. Fortunately her relative traveled to Lodwar and could pay the fine so that she could be released. They both traveled back to Kakuma camp on the same day.
On the material day, a UNHCR official visited the Kakuma police station to follow up on the release of the arrested six members of the Equotaria community which was not fruitful. The Head Mistress at Angelina Julie Girls Primary School went to Lodwar court to seek the release of her pupil after being notified by the parent but she discovered that Saira had already been taken back to Kakuma under police custody. Questions were raised for better understanding of the cases at hand but it was all in vain.
According to the UNHCR report, "On 29th and 31st December, a joint operation compromised of regular and administration police officers led by the local commanders raided illegal alcohol distilleries in Kakuma1 zone2 blocks 5 and 9, which are predominantly inhabited by South Sudanese of Equatoria origin." The report added that the 'raids' aimed to proactively prevent criminality in the camps during the holidays. "Several drums full of illicit alcohol had contents emptied and containers destroyed. A few suspects were also arrested in connection with the manufacturing of illegal alcohol and will be arraigned in court in Lodwar during the week."
The Equatoria community has been connected to a number of reported incidents. The group is also known by refugees and host community members for widespread distillation of local breweries. Among other problems, the Equatoria community lived in terrible shelters with the poorest the living and sanitation conditions in kakuma1. Insecurity is a serious problem especially in residential blocks where conflicts arise between the members of the host community and members of the refugee community. The police patrols seem to be able to curb many of reported crimes and to mitigate many violent incidents but not all of them.

TRUMPF instigates and supports education projects in different types of schools and for various age groups. Students at elementary schools develop their own product and so learn about running a company. High-school students improve their social skills with long-term internships in the company and so boost their career prospects. Students at college-preparatory schools are given an insight into technical processes. We carry out these projects at many TRUMPF locations around the world and in the ideal scenario we are able to get other companies involved.
As a high-tech company, TRUMPF thrives on fresh ideas and impetus. A high-quality education is thus the basis for innovative thinking, as it acts as a catalyst for social and economic progress. We want to arouse people's interest in technical topics and economic expertise to ensure Germany is well-positioned and competitive in the future.
Supporting up-and-coming talent
TRUMPF is a founding member of the initiative "Wissensfabrik – Unternehmen für Deutschland e.V." (Knowledge Factory – Companies for Germany). Through this social commitment, TRUMPF aims to arouse people's interest in engineering and entrepreneurship and pass on the experience gained by an innovative family company.
TRUMPF supports young people in research and inventive making. For example, teams of school students taking part in the "Jugend forscht" youth research competition can spend time in the training department and move their project forward with us.
TRUMPF takes part in the children's day run by Upper Austrian industry, in order to arouse children's interest in engineering at an early stage. Using role plays, the young visitors are given an insight into day-to-day work at TRUMPF and can find out more about individual steps, from placing an order to delivering the finished machine.
Research and teaching
We provide topic-specific support for professorships and technical courses of study, with financial assistance and personal involvement in teaching. We relate the technologies of the future to practice in lectures at higher education institutes, and offer doctorates in industry and trainee programs to qualified academics. We also support junior researcher projects at institutions and associations, such as the Chair of Intergenerational Economic Policy at WHU (Otto Beisheim School of Management). TRUMPF also collaborates with institutes and industry partners in national and European support programs to work on the issues of the future, such as electromobility, photovoltaics, and Industry 4.0.

CHICAGO (AP) — As she considers another White House bid, Hillary Rodham Clinton intends to work in the nonprofit world on issues like improving early childhood education, promoting the rights of women and girls, and finding ways to improve the economy — a set of priorities that could inform a 2016 presidential campaign.
The former secretary of state offered her most extensive description of her post-Obama administration agenda on Thursday since leaving her role as the nation's top diplomat, basking in loud applause from admirers at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in Chicago. The former first lady, a longtime advocate for women and children, said the foundation would serve as "my home" on a set of public policy initiatives close to her heart.
"What I think we have to be about is working together, overcoming the lines that divide us, this partisan, cultural, geographic (divide). Building on what we know works, we can take on any challenge we confront," Clinton said. Reflecting the entire family's involvement, the foundation has been renamed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.
Clinton's speech at the start of a two-day annual conference touched on themes that could be part of a future Democratic presidential campaign, with the former New York senator stressing the need for private and public partnerships to tackle issues like economic and educational inequality. She said climate change, "financial contagion" and nuclear proliferation were "too complex and cross-cutting" for any one government to solve alone.
"This can't just be a conversation about Washington. We all need to do our part," she said.
As secretary of state, Clinton avoided delving too deeply into domestic policy but signaled a desire to become re-engaged in pocketbook issues important to Americans. Pointing to efforts by a teachers' union and others to improve conditions in rural West Virginia, she said economic inequality was "not limited to one county in West Virginia. There are too many places in our own country where community institutions are crumbling, social and public health indicators are cratering and jobs are coming apart and communities face the consequences."
Clinton has emphasized similar issues in the past. In her 1996 book "It Takes a Village," she discussed the importance of collaboration between families and community groups to help children thrive. As a presidential candidate, she was popular with many blue-collar workers whose wages had remained stagnant even as the economy flourished for many Americans.
As secretary of state under President Barack Obama, she promoted a number of initiatives to improve the standing of women and girls in developing nations. She said that work would continue at the foundation, both here and abroad.
Clinton capped off the day by offering criticism of the so-called sequester, telling supporters of a nonprofit organization that funds epilepsy research that the forced spending cuts would lead to $1.7 billion in reductions to the National Institutes of Health budget, meaning fewer researcher grants and jobs for scientists. She urged "citizen action" to raise awareness about the effects of the cuts but did not direct the criticism at Obama or congressional Republicans.
Democrats said Clinton had supported many of these social and political issues in the past and cautioned not to read too much into her priorities. "I'd imagine she'll work on them till the day she retires, if she ever does retire. Whether she'll try to do this work from 1600 Pennsylvania, who knows?" said Jill Alper, a Michigan-based Democratic strategist.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, a longtime friend of the Clintons, said at the conference that he was sure she would "figure out what she wants to do in the future and we all look forward to hearing about it."
Clinton noted that as secretary of state she visited 112 nations — "I'm still jet-lagged," she joked — and had learned several lessons during her travels. Regardless of someone's circumstances or homeland, "what people wanted was a good job," she said. Her time abroad taught her that the United States' greatest advantage was its "freedom, equality and opportunity," and said she learned that the U.S. could overcome any challenges and divisions.
She did not address recent criticism from Republicans over her handling of the deadly attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, last September. She did not address a recent report that said misconduct complaints against American diplomats were improperly halted by senior State Department officials while she was at the State Department. The State Department's internal watchdog has asked outside law enforcement experts to review the cases.
Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, said he was glad that she was joining him at the foundation. He credited her for teaching him about the work of nongovernmental organizations, pointing to the early years of her career at the Children's Defense Fund.
The conference included sessions led by the former president; the couple's daughter, Chelsea; Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and actress Eva Longoria. New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie, a potential 2016 White House contender, was joining the former president on stage Friday for a session titled "Cooperation and Collaboration: A Conversation on Leadership," a nod to Christie's embrace of a bipartisan mantle as he seeks re-election in his Democratic-leaning home state this year.
For the former first lady, who grew up in suburban Chicago, the speech served as one of her most public forays since departing the administration. She has delivered a number of private speeches around the country and is writing a book about her time at the State Department but offered little indication on whether she'll run for president again. She remains the heavy favorite within the party to succeed Obama, and Republicans have begun dissecting her record.
It also brought supporters of both the Clintons and the Obama teams together in the president's hometown, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, longtime Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett and Lew, who served as Obama's chief of staff and also served in the Clinton White House.
Mrs. Clinton was honored Thursday night at a dinner on Chicago's Navy Pier sponsored by a nonprofit organization founded by former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod and his wife, Susan, and other parents to promote research into epilepsy.
As first lady, Clinton helped organize a White House conference on epilepsy in 1999. She urged the audience, which included many of Obama's top donors, to continue to push hard to find a cure to the disease.

Merritt Parkway bike trail study hearing in New Canaan
Trail would extend from Stratford to Greenwich
A new study of a multi-use trail running the 37.5-mile length of the Merritt Parkway from Greenwich to Stratford envisions a 10-foot wide asphalt path that could cost as much as $250 million along the historic thoroughfare's wooded median.
Michael Calabrese, a project manager for the Connecticut Department of Transportation, said that engineers remain concerned about the difficulty and cost of a trail through the 150-foot wooded median on the highway's northbound side.
Because of the presence of wetlands, significant stretches of the path would be comprised of boardwalks, Calabrese said.
"There are a lot of road crossings and boardwalk areas where you are trying to skirt a wetland that are very challenging," Calabrese said.
The Department of Transportation is holding one of a series of upcoming public information meetings this spring on the status of the study of the trail at 7 p.m., this Wednesday, at the Outback Teen Center, 71 Main St., New Canaan.
Additional meetings are being planned for Trumbull, Stratford, Norwalk and Greenwich.
More InformationThe Department of Transportation is holding one of a series of upcoming public information meetings on the Merritt Parkway bike trail study at 7 p.m., this Wednesday, at the Outback Teen Center, 71 Main St., New Canaan.
Jill Smyth, executive director of the Merritt Parkway Conservancy, said the group is opposed to the trailway concept as described by the study.
Among the problems with the proposed trail are the use of asphalt and expected loss of hundreds or even thousands of trees to clear the 14-foot wide footprint of the path. Smyth said the path could also produce a range of other quality of life problems associated from use of the path for neighborhoods and property owners adjacent to the parkway.
"Granted the landscape of the parkway has transformed since its origins from a more forested greenway but it is still a valued and aesthetically pleasing route," Smyth said. "The addition of elevated boardwalks, bridges, and tunnels would further diminish the character of the parkway."
Touted since at least the mid-1990's, the concept of a multi-use bike and pedestrian path along the Merritt Parkway got a boost three years ago when the DOT obtained a $1.06 million federal grant to conduct a feasibility study.
Supporters including bicycle-advocacy groups in Connecticut tout a trail along the parkway as an important missing link in the East Coast Greenway, a 2,750 mile network of trails from Florida to Maine.
Robin Stein, interim economic developer for the city of Stamford said that Mayor David Martin is interested in the trail concept but is concerned about changes to the appearance of the parkway.
"The administration supports the concept but realizes there are challenging implementation issues including the overall cost of how to create the path and impact on existing trees," Stein said.
