Proposed Citizens Bank branch raises traffic and ATM-queueing concerns; commission asks for revised layouts

The planning commission reviewed a proposal to split a parcel in the Walgreens shopping center and build a 3,000-square-foot Citizens Bank branch with an ATM lane. Commission discussion centered on traffic queuing on Route 82, the ATM's location and whether a freestanding or relocated ATM could prevent left-turn blockage into the shopping center. "If this doesn't work, I think the move out of the community makes sense," an applicant representative said, describing Citizens' interest in the site.
