NO PLACE TO PEDDLE HATE

Regarding the Trump Hawker & Peddler garishly set up in our village of North Falmouth, we petitioners request the Select Board reconsider approval of that location as an unwelcome threat to public safety, an impediment to the safe flow of traffic and a disruptive nuisance impacting the peace and quality of life of our community. Located outside our Post Office, residents can't avoid its intentionally provocative display of Blow-up Trump dolls, huge banners and 'Build the Wall' signs. Situated inches away from the sidewalk and roadway (likely illegal), drivers hurl profanities and make obscene gestures as they pass. With the influx of heavy summer traffic, impatient drivers, cars entering and exiting the small plaza onto a narrow stretch of North Falmouth Highway and with a daycare nearby, it has caused numerous unfortunate incidents and become a danger to residents and visitors. It is unfair to our North Falmouth community to have this emotional and psychological burden added to an already stressful time of political and economic upheaval and a deadly pandemic. For the good of our community, we need relief.
