In the pictures above you can see that West Main Street was widened by 4 or 5 feet and Ferry Street was widened by a whole lane.Allows school buses and modular homes to make the turn much easier and the demolition of Kagan's building has improved visibility coming out of Ferry Street onto West Main Street reducing the chances of an accident.
