Why has this issue been closed? We keep seeing this happen with many issues before they are actually resolved. This issue should remain open until the Traffic Authority Commission has made a decision on what changes will or will not be made at the intersection of School Street & Whitney Avenue. Any updates about this issue should also be posted on this platform so that the public can easily stay informed. That's why we entered into a contract with SeeClickFix. We're paying for it. We might as well use it the way it was designed to be used.
