Also, let's not forget that this problem is highly seasonal, and it is about the resolve itself with the passing of Labor Day. Sure, there will be slow downs, but, honestly, in terms of time, we are talking very short time delays. What scares me is that now that the State is involved something is going to happen simply because the State feels it must do something, after all, why else would they be there? I'd rather see both Rt 109 and Rt 109A be reworked and resurfaced to provide a smoother and safer surface.

Do you remember when there was a cop downtown in the summer? And do you remember how much slower it made the traffic? I can remember when it was backed up everybody said: "The cop must be there."
