Alleviate the Situation


Chestnut Street is one accident away from disaster. The condition of the much-used town artery is horrible. The street is narrow, parking is allowed on both sides, and there are blind curves, poorly paved areas, and not even a line going down the middle of the street.

I have been to police commission meeting twice in the past and nothing has been done. The street needs to be made one way or have designated parking on only one side of the artery. There are times that if two vehicles are approaching each other, one must stop to let the other go by because of the cars parked on just one side, in some cases, because the street is so narrow.

I implore the Town of Branford to consider doing something to alleviate the situation before a serious accident occurs. I am seriously thinking of a petition from residents as the next step.
