Ladies and Gentlemen —| cannot attend tonight’s meeting due to Holiday commitments but would like to express my
support for the permanent removal of the barriers on Main St and surround roads.
| truly believe the barriers have served a valued purpose during this time of Covid in helping our local restaurants. Since
all restaurants are now open for business and masks are no longer mandatory it is essential that we now allow a normal
downtown to exist.
That would be one without barriers. I’ve talked to numerous people about the situation and even some restaurants and
they are in agreement to remove them permanently. The barriers cause too much traffic and parking issues which in
turn have a negative effect on other Merchants and downtown businesses(ie: lawyers,banks,stores and the like).
Let’s go back to how we always had sidewalk dining —-1 believe the sidewalks are wide enough to entertain an adequate
number of patrons for the businesses. It’s worked in the past and should work in the future.
Attached are signatures I’ve gathered for those who oppose the barriers. It is also important to include out of town folks
as well since they too want to continue to enjoy the positive aspects of downtown.
Thank you for listening to a local businessman who is successfully operating a 4" generation business for 109 years in
downtown Nashua!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
