Every year since its beginning, our town's Old Home Days celebration has resulted in traffic accidents. Luckily, no one has been seriously
injured, but it is clear that we need better traffic control during the
festivities. Parents who pull over on Main Street to drop off kids cause
other drivers to pull around them, creating a dangerous situation. To
avoid this, the police who stop traffic for pedestrians to cross Main
Street should be located at more than one spot. It is the responsibility
of the drivers to be careful, but we can make their job easier by making
some simple changes.
