DALTON, Mass. The town s Traffic Commission fully supports a proposal by Select Board member John Boyle to try to advance a walkway project for the Housatonic Street bridge for possible funding under the anticipated federal infrastructure bill. The project had been fully engineered and slated to be part of a previous federal road project completed in 2018, but was deleted from the final draft. Boyle has pointed out that the way the current sidewalk ends at the bridge is unsafe for pedestrians. Based on most recent engineering, the estimated cost for the walkway would be around $3 million. Which is chicken feed, when you re talking about federal funds and billions of dollars in construction, Boyle told the Select Board, adding that U.S. Rep. Richard Neal s office believes it to be a worthy project, easily fundable.

Good Wednesday morning!
The State of the State is a typically a big event in New Jersey. The Assembly chambers are packed. Usually at least some former governors show up. It’s a little bit of pageantry, with some lawmakers getting to parade down the aisle behind the governor, and a mark on the political calendar. But how often do we remember what was in the speech itself?
