Council OKs road plan despite gripes about narrower streets

The Port Washington Common Council set in stone the city’s 2019 street projects, despite the objections of some people living along several of those roads.

Several residents living on Crocker Avenue and Roger Street had asked that the city not narrow their roads as much as planned, saying it would affect their quality of life.

But officials noted that narrower roads will slow traffic, allow the city to increase the parkways for trees and snow storage and to improve safety.
