At their August meeting, the West Marlborough supervisors heard from two residents about traffic problems in our rural township.
Joan Silknitter brought in photos of the traffic confusion along Newark Road, between Route 82 and 842, during the Chesco Grand Prix bicycle race on July 4, and asked the supervisors to close that stretch of the road during next year's race.
Crosby Wood, one of the organizers of the race, agreed with her that traffic was "a mess" but said it was because of the unexpectedly high attendance. He said they would definitely ask to have the road closed next year (the race is proposed for July 3 and 4, 2013).
The supervisors also said they had heard from an Apple Grove Road resident who asked to have that road made one-way eastbound during the Plantation Field Horse Trials because it is too narrow to comfortably accommodate two oncoming horse trailers at a time. The supervisors said they would discuss the situation with the horse trials' organizers.
