Description
Please make this street one-way. It is too narrow, there is no sidewalk, and drivers use it as a shortcut around downtown intersections. Whatever considerations argued in favor of making Forest and High Street one-way argue even more forcefully for converting Palmer.

Hi Neighbor,
I 100% agree. I've seen over the past 3 years just a constant use of this street from folks looking to jump from one street to the next. Whether it's going eastbound, cutting through palmer to avoid the Pond/27 intersection or cutting through palmer from Pearl st (to avoid the center of town when going N or S on rt 27).
Moreover, drivers tend to disregard a STOP when turning onto pond from palmer. It's often a rolling "stop" which is just dangerous when there are bikers, walkers, kids, etc that are pedestrians in the area.
Good luck in getting this idea implemented.
