ATTLEBORO - An express branch of the Registry of Motor Vehicles will open in downtown Attleboro on Oct. 30, state Rep. Bill Bowles said Monday.Bowles, D-Attleboro, said Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and Registrar Rachel Kaprielian will cut a ribbon officially opening the facility in the former post office building on Park Street. The office will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., he said. Bowles said he looked over the basement space last week and it looked almost ready for the opening. A counter has been expanded to accommodate three registry workers and a wall has been erected in the back of the room, he said. Furniture was being moved in Monday. Bowles lobbied state officials for an Attleboro express office after an announcement that the full-service registry in North Attleboro was one of 11 being closed because of budget cuts. He held frequent meetings with the lieutenant governor, registrar, speaker of the House and House Ways and Means Committee chairman to get their support for the express office. The Attleboro express branch will be in space the city is donating free of charge. The hope is that an Attleboro facility will reduce long lines at registry locations in Taunton and Brockton, provide a convenience for local patrons and attract more people to the downtown area. Bowles said he became concerned last week that the Attleboro opening could be blocked when Gov. Deval Patrick announced that he would have to make $600 million in spending cuts to balance the state budget. Instead, he said he was assured that the opening is going on as scheduled.

Next, if you are not comfortable transferring "personal information" over the internet then you better not go to the registry at all because when they punch in numbers into their computer like your social security number and date of birth guess where it goes to be verified? Over the internet.
Take a little time to educate yourself before trying to bash me. "

We had Nextel, but they left - WHY? Because NOBODY goes to the center of Attleboro! With more pedestrian traffic, because we know people will have to park in the garage and walk through town, that will attract more business to downtown.
People complain because the Downtown revitalization is not working, well this IS the answer! YES, you will have to drive slower, YES you will have to walk a little, but those are prices you pay when you are looking for hustle and bustle in the city. You just can't have it both ways! "
