[RP TownTalk] Queensbury/Route 1 frustration

[Maureen Farrington]

Isn't the construction related to the new extra left turn lane from Rte 1
northbound to west East West Highway? Ideally that is supposed to alleviate
this mess.

And thanks for letting people know the secret way past Dupont, Sarah. :P
This morning there were about 10 cars waiting to make the left onto Rte 1,
so I don't know how much longer it will be a viable option.

Jen, I'm sorry that folks were jerks this morning.  It is really
frustrating to have to break laws just to get from point A to point B.
