The Board of Selectmen at Tuesday night’s meeting approved Police Chief Thomas Lydon’s recommendation that Cottage Street, from Washington Street to Central Street, be retained as a one-way street. A thirty-day trial period (December 13 to January 13) with the street as a one-way had been recommended by the Chief and approved by the Selectmen.
Selectman Clement A. Riley felt it was awkward to have two oneway streets so close together and the Board voted to approve his motion that the Police Chief be asked to study the project, keep Cottage Street a one-way and give special consideration to returning Day Street to a two-way street.
