Business owners debate one way Court Street plans

In emotional testimony in which several restaurant owners said they wouldn't survive 2021 without out door dining, business owners debated turning Court Street into a one way again for the summer. Several other business owners opposed the plan and even one resident complained that a Court Street restaurant wouldn't deliver to his apartment on Court Street, because of how long the one way loop takes on a busy night.

Selectman Quintal express reservations about the one way proposal due to Water Street traffic concerns. Town Manager Melissa Arrighi suggested a plan for two way traffic with staggered bump outs for some restaurants. The debate took place during last night's Board of Selectman meeting, no decisions were made.
