Viewers express opinions on stop lights

The following views have been expressed by persons voting on the poll on the home page. The poll asks: What do you think about having only two stop lights on Main Street?"

Total votes as of Saturday, Oct. 3: 77
FIRST OPINION:

The light at Main and College is absolutely necessary, as is the light at Common Grounds. There is a lot of pedestrian traffic through there due to the proximity to the schools. The light at town hall can stay gone, but the other two need to come back.

SECOND OPINION:
I like all stop signs!

THIRD OPINION:
Removing the stoplight at that intersection is pure insanity. Anyone who has been at that intersection between 7:45 and 8:15 a.m., and/or between 3 and 3:20 p.m., knows how busy it can get as school buses, high school kids (still learning the ins and outs of driving), and parents jockey for a parking place or a safe spot to deposit their kids, knows the light is more than just "decoration. Add to that a nearby library, busy gas station, two banks and a post office, and one cannot fathom the decision behind removing the light.

FOURTH OPINION:

The College Ave. - Main St. intersection can often get very busy, especially on Friday afternoons through the evening.
