CONWAY — Elected town officials have expressed doing a traffic study because development has created congestion on Conway’s commercial strip. Now the town engineer is saying that perhaps a building moratorium should be explored.
The Conway Planning Board on Sept. 22 unanimously voted to conditionally approve revised plans for a 90-room, four-story Hilton Garden Inn on the site of the former Packer’s Gallery in North Conway. They also voted, 6-1, to write to ask selectmen to request a town traffic study on Route 16 south of North Conway Village.
Conway and Paul D are heading down the wrong path. Unfortunately, Paul is not a very open minded engineer and seems to have made several decisions which unfortunately should only prove to exacerbate just the issues he and staff wish to remedy. Between plans to overbuild Conway Village main street with additional slip lanes (CDS May 2022) (look up 'induced demand') and this proposal to place a moratorium on hotels while the public and staff wring hands over STR's. I think Paul needs a better (honest) sounding board. Or maybe it wouldn't matter...
