I understand that there is a movement afoot in Waterville to block off Appleton Street to cars from Elm Street to Main Street in order for the library to have a parking lot. This is the wrong, wrong, wrong, way to thank Waterville residents for being so very patient while the library has been closed for renovations.
Appleton Street is a major entrance to the Concourse, and with so many other traffic barriers that people now are experiencing in downtown Waterville to access local businesses, this would be one more obstacle. Please do not do this!
