The newest street in Paris

PARIS — A new street will be created off Ryerson Hill Road in order to service an addition to a subdivision by owner Ron Fitts.

A lot will be divided to create four new homes, located about a third of a mile northeast of Cole Brook on Ryerson Hill Road.

According to Code Enforcement Officer Gerald Samson, "he [Fitts] wants to call the new street Capitva Drive."

After a check, said Samson, "I have verified that the name does not sound like any other street name in Paris."

The Board of Selectmen approved the location during its February 14 meeting, in accordance with the requirements of a street ordinance.

Captiva is the name of a Florida island, an unincorporated community on that island, a Chevrolet vehicle, a software company, and an album by a Christian rock band named Falling Up.
