Would the responses change if the public realized that fire & rescue response times improve with 2 way traffic? I think that should be part of the question.

If there was more information about the traffic patterns and amounts that would help the decision process. The information if it is available has not yet been shared.
ReplyDeleteI recall you were on the building committee for the Downtown station, is there a new committee to look at a new station for the north side of town? or as an alternative, is there work on a cooperative agreement to cover the north side of the town with Medway?
I signed as a member of the Central Station Building Committee. We have always been concerned with response times. We sited the station with the understanding there would be 2-way traffic leaving the station.
ReplyDeleteI believe Medway still has a volunteer fire department which does not lend itself to reliable response times.
