There is a handsome invitation from a letter writer in the Aug. 2 Gazette: “Double down on local – Enjoy summer in downtown Amherst. ” Good idea but a slight problem with timing. Approaching the Farmer’s Market this morning, I encountered a detour sign. It had been prefigured by a headline in the Amherst Indy: “Major Downtown Intersection Reconstruction Begins August 1.” It appears that a bit better communication is warranted between the bureaucratic entities that serve (?) this community.
