Description
I can't believe that this is the towns solution to the double yellow lines. Do you know what looks worse than double yellow lines??? A giant black streak. I am hosting Christmas at my home this year and I have family and friends coming from several different states and I am embarrassed by the appearance of my street. Who ever made this decision should be ashamed of themselves and have their neighborhood humiliated like mine was.

Cinnamon,
You are 100% correct. The paint will fade away but it's going to be the black paint and then the double yellow lines will be back. The decision to cover the yellow lines with black paint was a tremendous waste of time and money.
The three members of the
BOS (Three Headed Monster) continue to make unwise decisions with our tax dollars. The lines should have been left as is and over time would've faded on their own without costing the tax payer a penny.
To think that double yellow lines signifies a "highway" is moronic. The streets that were painted with the double yellow lines are all "thickly settled districts" which means the speed limit is 30mph.

I think we should all step back and look at what a horrendous imposition this black line down the middle of Jimmy's Street must be.
I listen to the news about children in homeless shelters, people going to food pantries because they don't have enough to eat, and all over the world people fleeing terrorism with nothing but the clothes on their back.
It is hard to imagine how Jimmy will manage to have a Merry Christmas when as he says "I am hosting Christmas at my home this year and I have family and friends coming from several different states and I am embarrassed by the appearance of my street".
Sometimes life is just not fair.

This is a huge issue and symptom of how horribly the Three Sorrowful Mysteries are ruining our town. The double yellows were done by our DPW director to comply with the law. A couple people buzzed into Moe Larry an Curleys ear so he was made to paint over them, wasting about 15k.
Thank god I heard one of thems not running in April, or at least there will be level headed opposition. This majority is absolutely horrible.

You are right Cinnamon, we are very lucky to live in this great country.
To be honest, the original post by Jimmy has nothing to do with the black line down the middle of the street. If you read his post you will see that it basically just as a chance to slam the board of Selectmen that he doesn't like.
He over dramatizes the importance of a black line down the middle of a street as a pretense to make a political statement. I think I would be a little embarrassed to admit that my hosting of guests at my house was threatened buy a black line in the street.
And then there's PC 2.0. I've been waiting for him to chime in with some irrelevant comment to the original post. Again, he's just someone who likes to wine and fuss about not liking the board of Selectmen. Doesn't usually have much else to say.
To be honest, if these two whiners have nothing good to say about those members of the board of Selectmen, then those folks must be doing a pretty good job.

Your comments do not in any way address the issue, yet you charge me with that, even though my post was specifically about the issue.
No surprise Cinabon concurs, your both arrogant beyond belief and obviously unable to discuss an issue without disparaging someone. Two disgraces who demean the whole point of this site

You are correct. You do not disparage people at all. My mistake. I thought you wrote this.
"Three Sorrowful Mysteries are ruining our town"
"A couple people buzzed into Moe Larry an Curleys ear "
I thought I'd amuse myself and take a few minutes and scroll through some of your other posts. It's surprising that you would say that we are "obviously unable to discuss an issue without disparaging someone" when in almost every post you do exactly that. Pot calling the kettle black.
Here are just a few of your mature comments.
"You'll also learn that this site is mostly 3-5 chronic whiners"
"Some of the worst selectmen in recent memory."
"I know exactly what I'm getting involved in Kevvy, calling out a bunch of whiners"
"And you whiners don't annoy me, I find your delusions to e amusing."
"Besides sitting in a basement whining into your computer, waddyou got?"
"don't expect to be take seriously by those of us living in reality"
"The people on here that act as if there is an epidemic of baby strollers and wheelchairs being smashed in our streets are just pathetic."
"most of the parking on the sidewalk complaints here are nitpicking get-a-life whiners."
Just a few non-disparaging posts from PC 2.0, it's been fun!
