Farmer's Market up to Old Tricks? You say Tomato I say Tomahto

When will it end? 

The Westford Police and Fire departments annually report the Farmers market on the common creates serious safety and traffic issues for Westford residents. The WFM thinks otherwise. Besides swallowing up all the surrounding parking spaces (forget the Library on Tuesdays people) and kicking out local farmers (Springdell Farm In Littleton, MA ~ A WFM supporter from Day 1 mind you), now it is more of the same from the "we know better than you" group.  

Oh, by the way, a chiropractor replaced Springdell Farm...

Last week, the board unanimously approved cutting vendors from 25 to 19, in an effort to lower traffic problems. 

Yet 27 'vendors' are listed on this latest WFM Patch article....makes sense right?

Sorry WFD and WPD, guess you aren't dancing cheek to cheek with the WFM...the BOS on the other hand....?  Sad.
