In Harm’s Way

To the Editor:

In an effort to maintain our current population, I suggest we bring into the open some of the more suicidal vehicular decisions we residents are compelled to attempt (You are welcome to add to this truncated list):

Taking a left off Mile Hill South onto Wasserman Way. Taking a left off Queen Street onto Wasserman Way. Taking a left onto Church Hill Road. Taking a left off Churchill Road onto Queen Street.

These are a few. Feel free to add your “favorites.” How sad it is that we Newtown residents must put ourselves in harm’s way as we attempt to live normal lives.

Let us hope our public officials, who surely have also attempted a left turn in the car-infested Borough, have a plan to make this near-reckless act a reasonable and safe decision.

The vehicular onslaught that has paralyzed the Borough must be addressed if our citizens are ever to attain the quality of life they sought when they moved here.
