What is a Constable? In Connecticut, a Constable has the same duties, within the boundaries of a town, as a State Marshal: serving legal papers to the people named in a lawsuit. (This role was also fulfilled by County Sheriffs until that office was abolished in 2000.)

New Canaan needs to make its streets safer for all users, especially in the wake of recent accidents involving bicyclists and pedestrians. The Greenwich Bicycle Master Plan and the Norwalk Pedestrian & Bikeway Transportation Plan are potential models for New Canaan to follow. We should develop a Safe Routes to School program such as those in Greenwich and Norwalk.
