Merchant’s Alley in downtown Cumberland is getting a bit of a facelift.  According to Melinda Kelleher, Executive Director of the Downtown Development Commission, a new 5-bike parking rack has been installed and additional signage and lighting is also in the works.  The merchants in the area have planted flowers to liven up the space and banners have been hung on poles recently.  The Merchant’s Alley area provides access to several downtown businesses as well as outside dining sites.
