To the editor:
I have read several letters to the editor on this subject, and I am surprised this is still a topic of conversation.
- It doesn’t take much work to flip open one of the catalogs DPW likely gets every week with all these options for road signs, which have designs matching the style of the area. We aren’t the only town with this “problem” of historic significance trumping public safety.
- I wonder if folks on the historic preservation side of the argument realize the double standard evident to anyone subjected to that intersection. On one side, we can’t get sign moved for aesthetic reasons, yet on the other side of the intersection we have ugliness that is that pile of advertising signs.
In a town with a large number of residents who are responsible for creating some of the most influential technology, innovations, and companies, I find it surprising this issue is still a conversation for that many years.
Maybe those stop signs need to be taken out and proper five-way traffic signal fitting the style of the area (yes, from the same catalog). While we are at it, let’s install sensors in the road, so every morning and evening traffic is managed better, and our fellow residents around that intersection can breathe that air little easier.
Sincerely,
Apolinaras “Apollo” Sinkevicius
124 Tower Road
