Mayor Fung to Welcome Frustrated Residents at Roger Williams One-Way Traffic Change Public Meeting
CRANSTON, RI—Cranston Mayor Allan W. Fung on Tuesday night will welcome many frustrated Cranston and Providence residents at Park View Middle School for a public meeting about the traffic changes in Roger Williams Park planned to go into effect June 1.
Mayor Fung stands with the roughly 1,000 residents who’ve signed a petition expressing concerns about the proposed one-way traffic pattern and the potential for severe impacts on their neighborhood streets. Additionally, Mayor Fung shares residents’ frustrations about Providence’s failure to properly notify Cranston city officials and residents about the proposed changes.
Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza and his staff have been invited to the meeting.
