Many against plan to truck dangerous materials through the city.
On Tuesday, officials from area communities, including Burlington, met with residents and state officials in Waltham to discuss Mayor Menino's plan to re-route trucks carrying hazardous materials out of the city and instead have them travel down Route 128. Every attendee at the public hearing on hazardous material transport routes agreed on two conflicting facts: the trucks need a route to travel, but nobody wants that route to run through his or her town. Exactly how to rectify those two viewpoints was the subject of the hearing held at Waltham's Arthur J. Clark Government Center on School Street on Aug. 30, where Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials heard testimony from local residents on a plan to divert hazardous …

Let us know what you think in the Comments section below.
As reported on Burlington Patch, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has put forward a plan to re-route trucks carrying hazardous material away from the city and through outlying roadways. Burlington Selectmen Ralph Patuto, who is the board's liaison to the Route 128 3C Committee, stated in last night's meeting that this would mean more hazardous materials coming down Route 128 (I-95). Patuto said this would increase the risk for communities along the highway and endanger both residential areas and sources of drinking water. Menino has said the move is meant to take the trucks off of Boston's busy and densely packed roadways, where, he says, they pose a greater risk. “These vehicles simply do not belong on busy roadways in densely populated areas…
Selectman Ralph Patuto updated the board on a proposed plan to move haz-mat trucks off of Route 93 and onto Route 95
Selectmen Ralph Patuto, who is the Burlington Board of Selectmen's liaison to the Route 128 3C Committee, updated the board on a proposed plan by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to reroute trucks carrying hazardous material from the city and instead have them travel through outlying communities. Patuto said the member towns of a subgroup of the Route 128 3C Committee that represent area communities, including Burlington, Lexington, Waltham, Weston, Lincoln and, recently added, Woburn, have all expressed resistance to the plan. During the discussion among board members, they too said they were in opposition. According to a July 25 release from Mayor Menino's office, On May 13 of this year, the City of Boston released the results of a Hazardous…

So a MAYOR of a City can determine what happens on an Interstate Highway system? REALLY. We already get traffic for the Woburn courthouse, commuters cutting through our town on their trek from home - to -work, enough FEDEX trucks to make me FedUp. State highway 3A is in need of a resurfacing, Middlesex Tpk needs extreme re-design work and don't get me started on the supposed Snow Removal along … more ›
