"[T]here seems to be a unique opportunity to construct a 1.7 mile connector highway between I-290 and Route 9 along an existing power line right-of-way (ROW)."
An interesting concept, to be sure. Eric also has a well-thought out public transit system upgrade for Worcester that I like the sounds of.
One of the items under the Christmas tree this year was a copy of "Turnpikes of New England" by Frederic J. Wood and Ronald Dale Karr. I've done some flipping through it, not enough to give a full review but it looks like it'll be pretty interesting and a good reference for posts here.
