Letter: Re-pave East Main Road, governor!
To the editor:
A few years ago I attended a Portsmouth Town Hall meeting to discuss a proposed roundabout on East Main Road. It was obvious that the attendees were uniformly opposed to such a project.
It was shocking to hear the RIDOT representative respond (threaten) that if the roundabout was not approved, it would take years to repair/resurface East Main Road, since the projects were connected. Sadly, Dan McKee has been oblivious to the compelling need to resurface a road that accounts for a high percentage of the Aquidneck Island traffic.
I have read that Helene Foulkes has a 20-point lead over Dan McKee and there are 22% voters undecided. I think I know how that gap can be reduced: Stop playing politics and re-pave East Main Road. There’s still time before the election, Dan!
