Description

Approx. 6 to 8 ft of public sidewalk was never installed between the new gas station and the driveway of the property to the south of it. This creates a hazard for pedestrians particularly in winter when it is not shoveled. I realize this is in the state's right of way, not the town's; but I would ask that you approach the state about rectifying this situation. Furthermore, something needs to be done to improve safety for pedestrians trying to reach the entrance to the gas station from the public walk. There should be a paved section cutting thru the planting area to keep people out of the way of vehicles entering from Poq. Ave. At the terminus of that walk lines painted on the pavement directing pedestrians to the building's entrance, while keeping them out of the path of cars pulling up to the pump, would add an extra measure of safety. If my explanation needs clarification, please call me. Thank you.
