the reason the route was picked probably was to disrupt as few homesteads as possible
while connecting to points along the way that feeder connections could be added as needed! the benefit is that businesses and people will support these connectors!
amazingly we can show this by growth graphs along the turnpike,I-95,I295,I-395 of course our older road system such as rte 1. I am sure the products that are now being
transported the long way around are being considered as well as future products that could be added.
Now I thought that when they decided to only build two lanes of I-95 north of east miltyknokett was foolish but many felt it wasn't needed right then! I knew that when it was built the cost would be much higher!(it was) so the nay's won and the tax payers lost! I feel this way about the east west! It will be eventually built-and the longer it is stalled the more expensive it will be. I might add many of the bridges along the six lane stretch of the maine turnpike were surveyed in 1973 -1975 by me! they now exist along with the six lane road way-what do you suppose the cost in 1995 was compared to 1975?
how many people were maimed or died during that 20 year delay? how much was added to your grocery price? hmmm there is a lot to think about when you say no! usually a no is very expensive!
I was born on the canadian border-many of my family members married canadians-yet their is still a little friction between them. but both sides shop in Calais and st.Stephens
and bitch about those dam canadians and those dam yankees! and their prices! must be human nature! like maine and newhampshire liquor prices!
