One Way Traffic Stays On Main Street Despite Petition
City commissioners backed the existing one way system on Main Street between Manchester and 1st Avenues. A petition with 30 signers urged two way traffic and limited parking, but Chairman Francis Carmody defended the $106 000 program as successful and needed to ease downtown congestion. He cited higher speeds and progressive approvals since adoption. A local business owner urged two way traffic and echoed loss of morning customers.
