My wife talked to a vendor who feels they lost money because although it was posted they never closed the bridge down to 4 wheel traffic at all. This apparently has a huge effect on how much pedestrian traffic crosses the bridge which we saw first hand was not much at all, and in turn affects their business.
Last year we called the Laconia PD and asked if the bridge was closed on Fathers day.
We were told it was closed down to 4 wheel traffic so we went all around town and came in Roller Coaster rd only to find the bridge was open and there was almost no traffic.
So I’d have to say that the Laconia PD is seriously lacking in the communications dept. when it comes to bike week.
