Kenny Vincent said he supports the traf- fic light at Bayard Avenue. "They are putting the traffic light where ! suggested. It is a wider street. There are less people there and the homes are farther apart," Vincent said. "However, a light anywhere is better than no light at all." John Cooper said he liked most of what he saw, especially the sidewalk plans. "I think either way [either traffic light location] is a plus." However, Iongtime traffic light advocates Joanne and Mike De- Fiore were very upset with pllac- ing the traffic light at Bayard.
