What the problem has always been is that public safety personnel have always developed a plan.

It's hard to really praise the safety with what happened over the weekend, but from the other side of the coin, I just have a little cut, didn't have a concussion, and I have some bruises on my lungs. You can make an argument both ways.

The 'Safety First' signs above the front doors are original and so is the old desk in the lobby.

There are many communities surrounding West Hartford that are dealing with this same issue and I think that many of them are looking to us as a model. Many people in the community have expressed concerns about these large signs and we need to address these concerns somehow.

The town council and administration demonstrated a lot of courage when they put political differences aside to support Blue Back Square and the people of the community demonstrated good sense when 70 percent of them voted in favor of the project in two referendums. Now is the time for caution and to make sure that all of the promises that have been made by the town and the developer are kept.

This initiative will ensure that all town residents with disabilities will be included in our emergency preparedness plan.
