General Road and Highway Discussion

Extremely surprised to see they plan to expand Blair Road between Fountain and George. That section of road has never struck me as being bad for traffic or needing to be widened.

Also surprised to see a New Dundee - Dickie Settlement bridge being planned over the 401....



I mean, why? To save 30 seconds on your drive for a very small number of people? I'm at the Homer Watson - 401 interchange every day and a very SMALL portion of people turning from New Dundee continue on to Dickie Settlement. What am I missing?

"Extremely surprised to see they plan to expand Blair Road between Fountain and George. That section of road has never struck me as being bad for traffic or needing to be widened."

Yeah unless there is an accident it is never slow through there. Wondering if they are looking at providing bike lanes. In the spring-fall there are a lot of cyclists and most sections aren't very wide with a lot of curves.

I wonder if the planned upgrade for Blair Rd is tied to the new 1800 housing unit Cambridge West Development that will be moving forward based on recent approval from the Cambridge Planning board. It was scheduled to go to the OMB this spring.
