That is basically true on both accounts, you two. There were multiple incidents, in fact. My dad grew up on Merchant Rd on the east hill, and has told me stories of the gas truck incident, and a watermelon truck incident, among others that escape me now. And even now to this day it is common to hear on the police scanner that someone has alerted the Sheriff's dept if they see a semi-truck skip the last-chance turn-around at Minor Rd. Even with all the warnings ahead of time, (Signs leading up to and at the mandatory detour onto Rt 246, as well as at least one other turnaround not far west of there) there are trucks which decide to take the run down the hill.
And I'm aware they are of different reasons, as I said, but the similarity remains, that trucks may only enter the village of Warsaw from the east by in fact going north through Pavilion and Wyoming, as trucks entering Spencerport must detour around the bridge there. The thought that was going through my head at the time of my other post, but unstated, was what would the Mayor have done if the FRR was still in use? Demand they move it? It seemed to be a logical conclusion of some of her comments on how the "ugly deteriorating structure" impedes her village. I am not saying that the bridge probably shouldn't come down, but her attitude towards it has always struck me as though she feels the RR is purposely inconveniencing her, as so many people in this country seem to so think. I guess my main point is that hers is a small detour, Warsaw's is long and out of the way. That is why I said she should talk to Warsaw if she thinks she is being inconvenienced.
