Some auto wreckers will pick up an old car and take it away for free. There are designated crosswalks for pedestrians. If there is no traffic light regulating the walk, then cars must stop for pedestrians in the walkway. Pedestrians have the right of way, but jaywalking is illegal. The nearest train station is the Branchville station off Route 7, about five minutes down Branchville Road from the center of Ridgefield.
Parking is free.
New York City commuters find the Katonah station convenient and the train ride shorter, although parking is limited. Goldens Bridge, one stop north of Katonah, is another frequently used station for Ridgefielders. It serves all Connecticut and New York airports, train stations, and bus terminals. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For reservations, call 748-2511, from 7 to 5, Monday through Friday.
