frustrated by the two lanes of traffic and the lack of parking they are accustomed to through the
years.
There are so many negatives. What is the reason for blocking our parking. What is the reason for
having a major thoroughfare like Main St. Nashua being two lanes. Why have two lanes when
four lanes are tough enough with the PAC construction with all the trucks and cranes, with the
gas lines being put in, with the remodeling of the Riverfront coming, with the new building
adjacent to the High Street garage, the Bronstein project.
Since the restaurants are given extra, “free” space at no extra cost, and the non restaurants are
having their space “taken” in front of their stores for barriers and tables and blocking parking,
doesn’t it make sense that we should get an abatement of our taxes, and the restaurants should
pay more.
In closing, the Block got quite an education in listening to both restaurants and non restaurants
and to employees and customers. We did not find that we “are a minority”. We found we are a
well respected majority that cares about our customers. That want to provide ease of negotiating
downtown traffic. That want parking in front of our stores. We are asking the alderman to make
the right decisions that bring our great city, and hard working business owners and their
employees, a happier and healthier environment to come visit.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
