I’m not sure how I feel about this, but I seem to be leaning toward supporting it.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment is reviewing plans tonight for a diner at the corner of New Road and Route 1, on the northbound side adjacent to the jughandle. The plans call for a 6,000-square-foot building on about 2 acres.
A couple of things to consider:
1. A diner will bring traffic — though something is likely to be built at the corner and it will act as a traffic magnet, as well.
2. There is a paucity of culinary options in town — especially given our physical size and the number of people living here. And diners tend to have good food and plenty of variety.
So the question, I think, will come down to the plan’s specifics — will there be enough parking, enough buffering and will it be designed to minimize the traffic impact?
First, let’s get answers. And then we’ll see where this leads.
