I do think that a by-pass is needed. Downtown Elmira hasn't been a good destination for shopping in my lifetime, but it is made even worse by the constant tractor trailer traffic zooming through it. Obviously this would divert some traffic from Arthur Street that might stop and shop, but I would hazard a guess most people shopping in downtown Elmira are from Elmira or the surrounding farms.
I certainly support a bypass but I got the sense the opposition to a bypass was strictly within Elmira.
Well, look what the Charles/Duke loop did to DTK. That may only have been the straw that broke the camel's back, but we're still recovering from it today.
