Commuter Rail Council flags worsening New Haven line
At a September meeting the Connecticut Commuter Rail Council reported the New Haven line has the worst on time and overall ratings among Metro North lines. Factors include aging cars over 25 years, higher ridership, limited cleaning equipment, construction delays, and debated on time definitions. Proposals include more cleaners, station garbage receptacles, and a new Fairfield ADA compliant station amid contamination and funding hurdles.

RTM funds ninth grade plan discussion, but not endorsement
RTM members split over supporting a ninth grade center as they vote to give 35000 dollars to the High School Building Committee for an architect and secretarial costs. The Board of Education backs a townwide ninth grade center at Roger Ludlowe Middle School to ease high school overcrowding, though formal specifications and final approval remain forthcoming.
