Traffic is a nightmare
This is why we need infrastructure to be updated before we keep building.
Just one street gets closed and traffic becomes a nightmare on all connecting streets. I know this is an old street, it is a state road, bla bla bla. Either we do something or stop complaining! Hey Planning Board are you watching??!!
this traffic is a only preview of what’s to come if they continue building developments in the new hampshire ave. area
