To the Editor:
I live at 53 Sherman’s Bridge Road. Residents of Sherman’s Bridge Road are a neighborhood and enjoy it, except it has become a thru-way for commuters, commercial vehicles, and school buses.
Sherman’s Bridge Road has two seriously dangerous sections: from the bridge to my home, and the junction of Sherman’s Bridge Road and Alpine to Route. 126. Sudbury has a similar dangerous section at the junction of Lincoln and Weir Hill roads.
Every weekday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. our road backs up past my home. The Town administration and DPW have not acknowledged this situation.
Below are a few of the topics the neighbors are actively asking the town and DPW to address and understand.
- Out of control traffic.
- The bridge repair and design and how it impacts traffic.
- Respect the historic wood design of the bridge.
- Add a second walkway to the south side for pedestrian safety.
- Complete the sidewalk from the crest of the hill down to the bridge.
- Acknowledge the 1971 Agreement.
- Our neighborhood requests for our ideas to be incorporated. They are sensible, well thought out, and respect our neighborhood.
- Budget, costs, expenses: I have read many times that there is no budget, while also vastly different costs are offered. This is nonsense.
There has to be a formal budget as required to receive State funds and to work within the Town, and between the two towns.
