The state highway commissioner will take a driving tour of scenic Route 6A Friday morning, including stops in Sandwich, Barnstable Village and Yarmouthport. At tour's end, he'll discuss legislation being refiled by state Rep. Tom George, R-Yarmouth, to require the highway department to consult with the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District Commission and its town committees before making road improvements and alterations. It's one of America's greatest historic districts and is vital to the Massachusetts economy. We hope to keep it that way. OKH commissioners plan to meet Amorello at the Marshland restaurant in Sandwich around 10 a.m.
Signage is a big problem.
People like the curves and the changes in the road and the minimal speeds. That session is open to the public. We're grateful for his visit.
