Outrage as Bath approves rail on Middle Street despite protests
The Independent reports that despite a long battle by residents and press, the city’s Mayor and Board of Aldermen quietly approved rerouting the L B and B R R along Middle Street between Oak and North Streets. Residents fear dangers to schoolchildren, increased car traffic on narrow streets, and reduced property values, while cries of treachery echo through Bath. The piece argues that most remonstrants have not changed views and warns of consequences when winter arrives and accidents occur.
