Letter to the Editor: Concern over accidents on Route 5

By Staff Writer

Letter to the Editor:

Is it just me, or doesn't it seem that there are more-than-the-average serious automobile accidents on that stretch of Route 5 between Batavia and Clarence?  You know, through East Pembroke, Pembroke, Newstead, etc.

Any explanations?  Any remedies?  Any solutions for the loss of lives or serious injuries?

N.Y. state road,no?  Not a state priority?  If not, whose?

Like a lot of these governors, county executives and city mayors are lately fond of pontificating, "My first job is ensuring the safety of my state, county, city (substitute as you please) citizens"  

Empty B.S., sincere pledges?  You decide.
