Senior Center is best left at it's current location To the editor: I'd like to speak up loud and clear for leaving the Senior Center right where it is. It is perfectly situated to serve the senior population of Greenwich. Seniors are a precious group who should be respected and provided with every service the town can well provide. Shifting them around is detrimental to their well-being and numbered happy years ahead. The Senior Center is a great place to congregate for programs well-suited to provide mental and physical stimulation, and also for healthy meals......Let's not tamper with what has proved to be a successful, well-run benefit for our senior population. They certainly deserve to be rewarded for their contributions to society and to Greenwich. Cheer them on. Change is not called for here. Let it be. Tina Dennis Greenwich Full Letter HereProposed site for arts center would be costly to town To the editor: Is it possible that the Greenwich Center for the Arts is the force behind the renewed push for traffic lights on Greenwich Avenue? When this plan was originally presented to the Representative Town Meeting, it was turned down. The residents of central Greenwich (District 1, which I represent) did not want this for several reasons, among them not taking away the charm of the Avenue with an expense that is not needed. With the movie theater now closed, there are not many people on the Avenue after dinner hours. People traffic would occur when the arts center opened, and with a 400-seat auditorium, there would be an overabundance of people on the Avenue at one time after a performance.... ...Why cannot the arts center share the use of a new auditorium at Greenwich High School? Or find something not necessarily on the Avenue? An arts center on the Avenue would create many more problems and expenses. Not all residents in central Greenwich want an arts center on Greenwich Avenue. I feel certain an arts center can be successful anywhere. It's not where it is, it's how good it is. Mary G.
