Route 8 paving a disappointment

I am no expert, but, in my opinion, this could be the worst paving project that I can remember involving Main Street, North Main Street and Route 8 South.

First, it has taken an eternity. Second, many lane seams seem uneven. Third, many “manholes” seem to be not level with the paved surface — several on Main Street have drivers swerving around them already. Fourth, the white and yellow paint application seems to have much overspray and stencil layout lines running everywhere.

To me, it looks like our tax dollars have been run over. I look forward to the next resurfacing and hopefully a return to normalcy. Joni Mitchell was right when she sang … “they paved paradise.”
