Heavy Rainfall Sunday Into Sunday Night Possible

Localized flash flooding is possible if any location receives more than one storm with heavy rainfall, National Weather Service says.

 

The National Weather Service says Madison and North Madison could experience heavy rain Sunday into Sunday night that could lead to some minor flooding.

"Locally heavy rainfall is likely at times from Sunday into Sunday night," the NWS says. "Any areas that experience this could have minor poor drainage and urban flooding. Localized flash flooding also is possible--especially if any location receives more than one bout of heavy rainfall in a relatively short period of time."

It was most likely picked to be smack in the middle of the most tick infested area of the park.Read More The town does not own the farm land closest to 95, it is owned by a private citizen

The area north of the farm house across Copse would not have been my first pick. There must be aRead More reason for picking that spot? but, looking at satellite images, if the town owns the land abutting 95 (is that also part of the farm?), it would make more sense to place it in that lower section of the park as it would not be near as many residential homes. The interstate is already noisy and would mask the occasional yip and yap on Saturdays or weekday summer evenings before sunset. I also wonder about the cliffs acting as sound amplifiers? I know, it sounds nuts but, you need to check or, yikes. You want to spend the most time on location work and design. Hopefully the UConn students have an architecture professor leading on the design work?

I have lived all over the U.S. in areas with dog parks. All were fenced (99% of dog parks ARE fencedRead More and any that are not should be avoided!) All have an area for big dogs, plus an area for little dogs, and an area for "problem" dogs and dog training (reservation based or first come). All three areas are divided by interior fences or located in different sections. Dog parks create no problems at all if built right and managed right. All dogs MUST have a licence and rabies tag on a collar. All dogs must be neutered over 8 months of age. All owners (18 and older) must observe the dog at all times and PICK UP when a gift is left. No children under 12. If your dog was not properly socialized or is an untested aggressive breed, keep them at home until you are sure they are good citizens with strangers and dogs. Only happy dogs who get along with other dogs should EVER visit a dog park. Puppies also should stay away until they are a few months old. Very small toy dogs don't need a dog park and are best kept away. But all the parks I have used were not a problem at all. It is also important to have some parking, seating (benches), and shelter for humans and a bulletin board with rules at the entrance (double gate at each). Some parks are free to town/county residents. Some were owned by the town/county but run by volunteers (these were the best!). Most charged nothing but one charged way too much per year (it was owned and partly run by the county with volunteers). I think any of these combinations could work but, if a yearly permit is issued (proven you have rabies shot, etc.), the fee, if any, should be very low. $10 or less for dogs under 25 lbs and $15 or less for dogs 26 lbs and larger. It should pay for upkeep and poop pickup bags. Why so low? Because it is a park for dogs! Grass, dirt, and some trees. Not the Opera or a Rolling Stones concert. A volunteer group needs to raise money first. It takes a few years and longer than you think. Starting with finding a location acceptable to all (nearly impossible due to NIMBY types but doable - Baur is actually a good pick) and hiring a landscape architect (pro bono hopefully) to design/lay it out to town code. There are many dog parks all over the U.S. that are proven and work well. Madison and this part of CT do need more fenced dog parks.
