There have been two accidents at the intersection of Martin and Main. It has been brought to our attention that sometimes the parking at that intersection can make it hard to see what is coming. Will speak to the homeowners in that area and ask them to park at more of an angle. Also, brought to our attention are a couple areas where bushes and trees are causing issues with being able to see. Those homeowners will receive letters asking them to trim their trees/bushes. It was reported that a couple of the trees from the ballpark will be moved to the veteran’s memorial area.
