Dear Aldermen,
I appreciate very much Laurie Ortolano and Aldermen Comeau keeping the Nashua taxpayers in the loop about
what is happening with the plans for the downtown barriers. I am very concerned to hear that an illegal public
meeting was held to discuss the barriers, especially since the presence of the barriers downtown is
controversial.
I am very much opposed to the barriers most especially because the police and fire departments reported that the
barriers cause delays in responding to emergencies. Having had a serious house fire four years ago, I have
painful first-person experience of how every second counts when the firefighters are responding to a fire. I do
not want to see any Nashua resident lose their property or their life because Main Street is clogged up and
emergency vehicles can't get through.
