If you haven’t been to Main Street in a while — since, say, yesterday — you’ll find quite a transformation.
To enhance social distancing, parking has been eliminated through August on the one-way stretch between Pop’TArt Gallery and Vineyard Vines.
And to enhance its beauty, the Westport Downtown Merchants Association (and 8 volunteers) planted 36 planters in those former parking spots.
There’s more room to walk around. It looks a lot better when you do. And the DMA is coordinating volunteers to make sure the new additions (and the other plantings on poles) will be watered all summer.
PS: There is plenty of parking available. And now it’s all unrestricted. No time limits — no worries!
The planting project was coordinated and led by Jacqui Bidgood and Deborah Herbertson.
