The proposed “solutions” for Morse North are not only over-engineered, they are fiscally irresponsible. To truly “fix” this corridor, I believe a massive undertaking involving at least three tunnels, land acquisitions, and wetland disruption is required. We simply cannot afford—nor do we need—such an extravagant overhaul for a problem that requires common sense, not a multimillion-dollar construction project.
Currently, we have a roadway that is fundamentally broken, stretching from a failing, confusing traffic circle in the north to a chaotic golf cart crossing in the south. We are being told by engineers that “standards” prevent us from restricting truck traffic or reducing speeds. But if these standards are so ironclad, why do they fail to address the reality of a roadway where cars and golf carts share the same roadway?…
