The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Mar. 20, 2011

The return of two-way traffic is again being suggested as a way of improving downtown Meriden’s economic prospects. In our recollection, when two-way traffic existed on West Main, the problem was not looking at shops and planning to return but getting through the traffic congestion before midnight.

There is another candidate for the Wallingford Housing Authority Board, a non-affiliated resident of town who is interested in serving. How about some strongly non-partisan appointments?

The talk by Dr. David Katz at Wallingford Senior Center on youth obesity was timely and appreciated. We hope his ideas bear non-fattening fruit.

Are Smart Boards, at Dodd Middle School in Cheshire or anywhere else, a progressive and persuasive teaching tool or an electronic fad serving merely to distract? It’s a question many might ask.

It’s time to clean up downtown Meriden with the snow finally melted and what has been discarded beneath it now revealed for all to see. When cleaned up, the city, like anywhere else, is a whole lot more attractive to visitors.
