Manchester Motel Protest Tries to Influence Road Route
Sixteen motel operators and local businessmen protested selectmen’s plan on a four lane alternative to U.S. 7 at the Manchester town office. Harvey Turner led a petition of 120 signers seeking to keep the April 27 Highway Department plan with Vt. 11-30 routing and access to Manchester Center. The meeting flagged public doubt over openness and aimed to push a public session before the highway board’s six week necessity hearing with Highway Commissioner Russell A. Holden.
