An article in the April newsletter incorrectly stated that the spaces in front of the Jenks Center were for municipal use.
Actually these spaces are for Jenks use only. The policy was approved by the Selectmen many years ago when Mel Kleckner was Town Manager.
The reasoning behind this policy is the fact that commuter use of these spaces renders them unavailable for the entire day.
Jenks seniors occupy spaces for one or two hours and then leave, thus opening up space for newcomers.
The turnover of spaces is not possible with commuters, and it is essential for the Jenks Center.
