[RP TownTalk] Queensbury Buses

[Andrew Farrington]

I for one would vastly prefer the buses coming past my front door on 
Queensbury than slowing my commute on 410.  I like the idea of limiting 
through-traffic in some ways, but I think if we were to do that, like on 
Queens Chapel Road in University Park, we should let the buses through.

Another thing to consider in limiting through-traffic is that we want 
people to see the "For Lease" signs in the town center, yeah?  And the 
eventual "Slim Hippy's Granola Market and All Night Boulangerie" signs?
