Good Afternoon Nashua BOA,
I remember a time not long ago down town had tables out for patrons on the sidewalks, it
was great fun. I love the ambiance this gives to our City, however the jersey barriers makes
it look like "Escape from New York" with Snake Pliskin (Old Movie Reference). I love
seeing people gathering eating good food and socializing, but we must maintain some
normalcy here.
Having barriers blocking traffic, emergency response vehicles, citizens driving to the
Hospital, or even just us down towners trying to get home form a long day at work, is not
going to make us want to go back down.
I say we let restaurants put tables out, and leave the barriers for the construction yard, I see
no reason why Nashua Citizens should pay for barriers so local business can profit? Will we
citizens get a residency discount? No!
J say let capitalism prevail, let freedom sing, and allow people to enjoy our downtown
business like any other day. There will always be danger placing seating on the sidewalks,
we have a great Nashua PD patrolling, and keep the tables adjacent to the buildings away for
the sidewalk edge and we are good. If businesses want barriers let them pay for them!
Remember we are "Live Free or Die State"!
