When the Carroll School first bought property on Waltham Road, some eight or 10 years ago, a resident told me that the road Would become Like Route 2 in the morning. When I suggested this was a bit of Hyperbole, he backed off. The road was not then nor is it now “heavily trafficked.”I know because I take this road fairly often, and at all times of day. Increased traffic is always used as a Reason to try to block new projects in town And, I Think, to mask the real reasons for the objections. In this case, I suspect local residents are not sympathetic to having 250 handicapped children in their midst. This is nothing more than NIMBY. A little more generosity of spirit is warranted here.
