The westbound lane of West Street (RT 66) where it branches off from Main and Elm Streets has been completely closed to traffic several times over the last few weeks, without any prior warnings, notices or detour signs in place. How long will these disruptions continue? Are we getting a little taste of what the Picture Main Street project has in store for us? The residents, visitors and people just passing through the city deserve better.
