DEDHAM, MA Dedham and Boston launched a community process to assess transportation and safety needs along the VFW Parkway/Providence Highway corridor.
The project will evaluate how to meet the travel and safety needs of all users, including motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, local residents and area businesses. As part of the launch, the municipalities are asking residents and businesses to take a survey on what should be addressed.
The action plan, made possible through funding secured by Sen. Michael Rush and Rep. Paul McMurtry, will concentrate on the roadway between the intersection of Spring Street and VFW Parkway in West Roxbury and the Marine Rotary at Washington Street in Dedham. Designed primarily as a higher-speed vehicle corridor, the area has almost no accommodations for pedestrians, bicyclists or transit

BOURNE, MA The installation of new exits signs on Route 6 from Bourne to Orleans was slated to continue next week, beginning Sunday.
The project will switch current exit numbers to ones based on mileage, bringing the state in line with federal highway mandates. Massachusetts, Delaware and New Hampshire are the only three states to not have converted to a mileage-based system.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said it s making the changes to comply with a federal mandate. If it does not fall in line, it could risk federal funds. Federal funds in this case will pay for 90 percent of the cost of changing sign numbers.
