North Amherst intersection left out of capital spending proposal North Amherst Library, Jan. 16, 2020. GAZETTE FILE PHOTO Published: 4/6/2021 8:25:31 PM AMHERST — A planned reconfiguration of two intersections in North Amherst center could be delayed as the town continues to await funding sources for the $1.8 million project. Though the Department of Public Works sought $450,000 for an engineering study, the Joint Capital Planning Committee recently nixed this borrowing request as part of its recommended $6.3 million capital improvement plan for the town. The decision comes even though for several years town officials have aimed to overhaul the intersection where Sunderland and Montague roads meet south of the North Amherst Library, with one plan to bring the roads together north of the building through the parking lot of a former service station, as well as improve the signalized intersection of Pine, North Pleasant and Meadow streets.
