I agree with Curt P. Holdt in “Let’s all agree on a name” (Our Readers’ Views, Nov. 23) that the 14-mile scenic road from Fourth Plain out to Ridgefield needs a name — a good name. Not, as he suggested, one connected with politics or politicians. I have no particular suggestions but would definitely protest naming a beautiful drive after politics/politicians/specific causes. Rolling Hills Road, Greenbelt Parkway, even just Scenic Drive, but no politics.
