Manchester to Move Gate near Walmart

YOUNG NEIGHBORS AT RISK. OUR STEPHANIE WOODS IS IN MANCHESTER WITH MORE ON THAT. STEPHANIE: AFTER WALMART GOT THIS NEW STORE LAST MONTH, CITY LEADERS PUT UP GATES TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC NOW THEY ARE MOVING ONE OF THOSE GATE, BUT THE NEIGHBORS DISAGREE ON WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING. GONNA GET HIT. RUN OVER. : LIVED ON GOLD STREET FOR 32 YEARS. HE SAYS HIS NARROW STREET GOT MORE CROWDED ONCE THE NEW WAL-MART MOVED IN DOWN THE ROAD BUT THE GATE AT THE END OF THE ROAD BLOCKING ACCESS TO SOUTH WILLOW STREET HAS HELPED. >> WHEN THEY PUT THE GATE IN, I'D SAY WE LOST 35-40% OF THE TRAFFIC. STEPHANIE LAST NIGHT THE : MANCHESTER ALDERMEN VOTED TO MOVE THE GATE TO THE WEST,TO ALLOW BRADLEY STREET AND BEECH HILL DRIVE RESIDENTS THROUGH TO WAL-MART. DESMARIS SAYS THAT WILL INCREASE TRAFFIC ON BEECH HILL. >> BEECH HILL HAS TOO MANY CHILDREN OVER THERE THROUG -- TO BE ACCOMMODATING 5000 CARS A DAY. >> DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING PLAYING IN THE STREET? THEY DON'T CARE, NOT UNTIL ONE OF THEIR KIDS GETS HIT WILL THE CITY DO SOMETHING. STEPHANIE PAMELA LABATTE SAYS GOLD STREET AT DOUBLE THE 30 MILES PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT. SHE SAYS THE NEED FOR A SHORTCUT TO SOUTH WILLOW SHOULDN'T TRUMP SAFETY. >> THEY'RE MAD BECAUSE NOW THEY COMPLAINING. STEPHANIE: BUT SOME NEIGHBORS ARE HAPPY ABOUT THE CHANGE. THERE, AND FOR ME TO HAVE TO GO THERE, IT'S EASIER TO JUST WALK THAN IT IS TO DRIVE. STEPHANIE BORIS ANDRIJANAC WASTE OF CITY MONEY AND MANCHESTER NEVER SHOULD HAVE INSTALLED THE GATES IN THE FIRST >> PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THAT STREET SIGNED UP FOR A BUSY STREET PUT THE GATE TO BEGIN WITH THEY PUT THE GATE TO BEGIN WITH.
