Jim... I do agree that traffic patterns will have to be changed, especially as the HCD is developed over the next several years. And if the "proposed" Lord Overpass changes are designed to provoke thought and discussion, I'm not too upset by them... but they clearly miss the mark for a sane, logical solution.

They seem to cut off access to/from both sides of Dutton... and do nothing to improve pedestrian access from Gallagher Terminal or Western Ave Studios, etc.

Clearly we need to motivate people to attend meetings and INSIST on better inclusion and communication. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Not sure I like the look of the new plan. Removing the overpass for Middlesex Street disconnects a portion of the Highlands from Downtown. The idea of Westford Street to Grand Street to Middlesex Street seems like a real stretch of an alternate route.

I'd like to see Appleton and Middlesex turned back into one way streets and have Jackson become two way.

Or perhaps see Appleton and Jackson one way and keep Middlesex stay two way.

 Do you find this valuable?
