Update 10:27 p.m.:

A vote on the proposed purchase of the strip of land along the back of Spring Grove Cemetery was postponed by the Representative Town Meeting on Monday night in order to get more information. RTM members wanted to know more about what flood-mitigation measures would be allowed or forbidden under an easement with the Darien Land Trust, which was providing half the financing for the purchase in return for keeping the land as natural open space. The proposal was removed from the agenda without discussion at Monday night’s meeting. Original article: 6:06 p.m.:

A proposal to buy about 1.24 acres of land between Hecker Avenue and Town Hall is on the agenda for Monday night’s meeting of the Representative Town Meeting. The land may be used as a public park, barely developed, for the public to use in walking between Town Hall and Hecker Avenue at a spot just to the north of Darien Police Headquarters and Darien Library.
