Many of us have been calling the upcoming train station, the Black Rock Train Station, for years now, but the Town of Fairfield and the State of Connecticut have decided to name the station the Fairfield Metro Station. They have created a survey on the Fairfield town website to obtain input from the public. The name of the train station is very important to those of us who live or own businesses in Black Rock as it promotes our community.
Ken Flatto, First Selectman of Fairfield, has found the response to changing the name to Fairfield Metro Station has been so negative that he has posted a survey to get public input after the fact (they already made signs on his earlier decision). There are many different options for names in the survey besides Black Rock Train Station, which of course, makes it less likely that the Black Rock Train Station will be selected as the winner due to the dilution by alternative choices.
The Town of Fairfield, in conjunction with the State Department of Transportation, are now seeking input regarding the name of Fairfield's new (third) train station. Please log onto the Town of Fairfield website to take the survey http://fairfieldct.org
