On April 20, the Brattleboro Development Review Board will consider an application by the Brooks House developers to close the Harmony Lot/High Street driveway to vehicles.
I write in an effort to call attention to this ill-conceived plan.
First, some background. It seems undeniable that the Harmony Lot High Street driveway was designed and built to allow vehicles to pass. Since I moved to Brattleboro 33 years ago, this driveway has always been used by vehicles, and it seems likely the driveway has always been used this way since it was built.
After the fire, the Brooks House developers proposed closing the driveway, but town officials objected. The developers then submitted a site plan that kept the driveway open, and the plan was approved.
