At least, the thru traffic will not be on town roads. I live off of Rt 7 and the traffic has increased greatly. Plans for any additions to rt 7, community center, residential, are ridiculous with traffic the way it is now. I still believe that trucks and autos will use side roads to avoid accidents and delays on expressway. Let's not forget Georgetown in this fight.
Road rage is in full display.
The on going politics around this road have been going on longer than I have been alive, I'm tired of hearing about wetlands and the environment on this issue. As far as maintaining the character of the communities along Rt7 by not building the road 35-40 even 50 years ago, I feel that the people who made this decision deserve the traffic they now have, I really hope they enjoy the quiet along the current Rt7. The lawsuits to stop an expressway were short sighted and based as always on money. You take your life in your hands just fighting to get thru the traffic. We are overloaded on Route 7, south of rte.33 with more traffic than ever in the 9 years I live here.
