How much time, effort and money has been put into deciding what roads and streets are “city streets” in Northampton and should be maintained by the city? How can Center Court not be a city street?
It’s in the middle of downtown and people live on this street. Yes, it may be a dead end but that doesn’t make it not a street. We have other dead end streets in Northampton.
I know there were other streets that were also cut off from city maintenance and some have been re-instated. The people on Center Court should not have to beg and plead their case.
Is this whole process really saving the city money, or just making people mad? It’s a simple equation. Did the city give them a street sign? Yes. Then they are a city street and should be treated as such.
