There is no place for hate in West Lebanon

West Lebanon parking in works

WEST LEBANON A city committee exploring ways to revitalize downtown West Lebanon has turned its attention to parking, and the idea of building a large, off-street lot on the east side of Main Street is gaining some traction within the group.
The West Lebanon Revitalization Advisory Committee last month reviewed a proposal that would create 81 new spaces behind Main Street storefronts. But the parking spaces could also replace some greenspace or trees near the backyards of a couple of homes as well.
A draft plan shows parking spots that would stretch from Mascoma Bank to Church Street West, running behind businesses such as Le Salon 34 and the offices of real estate agent Patrick Flanagan.
Group plots direction for trail through West Lebanon

WEST LEBANON A coalition of city officials, nonprofits and local businesses is seeking to break through years of gridlock and expand the Mascoma River Greenway through West Lebanon.
At issue is how to link the greenway, which runs along an old rail trail, to newly created trails paralleling Route 10 and the Connecticut River without having to rely on the Twin State Sand and Gravel site, which is served by the rail line but whose owners have not been able to redevelop the property as quickly as they had hoped.
The group, headed by the city’s West Lebanon Revitalization Advisory Committee, plans to advocate for a “West Lebanon Greenway” that could encompass several recreational hotspots in the area.
