No need for parking garage in downtown Amherst

Speaking of putting a traffic circle at the intersection of Triangle and North Pleasant streets so drivers in Amherst can contemplate the Bank of America kiosk from different angles?

Is that really the most important traffic issue in Amherst?

While so many of us heading south on University Drive line up for the privilege of turning left onto Amity Street or right onto Rocky Hill Road?

And while I’m at it, how many of you have serious parking issues in “downtown”

Amherst sufficient enough to call for proposals for yet another dark, underground parking garage where most women I know fear to lay tread?

I have been here continuously since 1999 and have always found a parking place. Sometimes I have to walk 50 to 100 yards to my goal. Can’t have that?

And yes, I’m the guy who was crabbing about speed bumps last August.

Believe me, it’s all connected.
