Don?t forget Westwood Bridge meeting Tuesday

TO THE EDITOR:

Many of you have expressed concern over the closing of Westwood Bridge. Good questions have been raised.

Can one lane be left open during construction? Can the new bridge be built adjacent to the existing bridge? Does the bridge have to be replaced at all? What delays in emergency services will be incurred? What about the residents who walk to the grocery story year round?

The answers that have been given have been vague, incorrect, and at times laughable.

This Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 6 p.m., we will have a public hearing on this subject at city hall. Please join me and we will seek answers together. Your opinion does matter and your voice will be heard.
