    What effects will result from any of these changes? One that I see is additional traffic on side streets to avoid driving through the intersection. This is already a problem on our street.

    There is really nothing wrong with the intersection. I have lived here for many years and find it satisfactory. I would suggest that the Colgate vans not be allowed to park where they do. I would offer the one that waits near the park pull around the corner where the fish vender sells on Saturdays. The one by the bookstore can wait by the Palace or in that parking lot by the bank.. This alleviates the bottle neck. I am certain he students will adjust.

  3. the Hamilton Intersection

    I may be late to the party to comment on this, but I am speechless as to any suggestion of removing additional parking spaces from the streets of Hamilton. As a business owner on Broad Street, I can tell you, in 13 years I have never had a customer who considered the "municipal lot" behind the police station as an option. And the very idea of narrowing Broad Street near the post office in proximity to the stores on Broad Street is HORRIFYING!! The construction alone would create an economic catastrophe for every merchant on the street. None of us have the resources to withstand the stress it would put on our businesses, even for a short period of time. (Did any of you drive through Chittenango or Morrisville or Waterville during the construction on the sidewalks in those towns????) If the village is interested in making the crosswalk safer in front of the Post Office, just put one of the village police officers nearby for a few weeks to ticket motorists who don't stop for pedestrians in the cross walk. That should solve that problem. I've been watching people cross the street there for 13 years. I have never seen or known of a vehicle/pedestrian accident there. Can't we be trusted to cross the street in a town of 3000 residents without governmental interference or "protection"? Less is more! Why is anyone considering this kind of project under any circumstance, that isn't a true emergency, leave alone a time when we should all be extremely conservative as to how we spend any state or local government money.
