Hi there
| am a Nashua Resident and work at 60 Main Street.
Although | was in favor in 2020 & 2021 of placing barriers on Main St to assist both businesses &
their staff | think it may no longer serve the purpose it intended.
Since there is no mask mandate & Covid cases are falling | believe the barriers placed on Main St
may be causing more problems than they are solving.
The restaurants and bars that needed to survive by utilizing outdoor dining now have 2x the space
and are flourishing.
So | think it is time to rethink the use of barriers as they may be causing significant traffic issues and
may no longer be as useful as they were during 2020 & 2021.
Thanks for all that you do for our city and | hope you will look for an acceptable compromise that is
beneficial to all of those who work and visit downtown Nashua.
