BRATTLEBORO — A great shout-out of thanks to Steve Barrett at the Brattleboro Department of Public Works, Cersosimo Lumber, and New England Central Railroad for removing the dreaded railroad siding on Route 142 which has caused the downfall (literally) of many, many cyclists over the years.

First, one Selectboard member was quoted in the Reformer, stating that it, ultimately, would be cheaper to move than stay. Initially, maybe, but this point of view totally ignores the enormous fit-up costs that would be necessary to again rent the vacated Municipal...
