LETTER TO THE EDITOR Resident does not support new Turnpike exit To the Editor, State legislators, empowered to wisely spend our taxes, and the state Department of Transportation, now have the informa- tion needed to abandon the idea of adding a Blandford exit on the Massachusetts turnpike. The DOT’s just-released $300,000 study demonstrates that the primary reasons for a new exit are not addressed by build- ing one. The report concludes that an exit would save hilltown com- muters merely 10 minutes per trip and provide no measurable improvement in traffic flow at turnpike entrances in Lee or Westfield, key goals of the project. Construction unlikely would hold to its $30-40 million esti- mated cost. Damage to local forestland, ponds and rivers, and increasingly threatened wildlife, would be beyond measure. Lawmakers, and DOT officials, not building an exit was an option for your study. Take it. It’s irresponsible to use taxpayer money on a project that cannot meet its goals. More urgent projects need funds. The state concluded there are two possible sites for an exit, both on Chester Road in Blandford, which becomes Blandford Road in Chester. This road, with narrow, winding, hilly sections, cannot absorb 5,000 vehicle trips the study projects. Even with yet undetermined costly improvements, trucks and big rigs would pose a major danger. These same challenges caused the DOT to eliminate a third site on Algerie Road in Otis. Area officials hope an exit entices new residents, populates Army officer says he raised concerns schools, and improves local economies, but it’s not a solution. Birth rates are declining across the nation. It could mean 8.5 percent fewer public school students a decade from now, about Trump and Ukraine according to The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
