  • Draft – Massdot Capital Investment Plan 1
    DRAFT – MASSDOT CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN 1 To our customers ­ I am pleased to present the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s (MassDOT) draft five-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP). Over the coming weeks, we look forward to your feedback on the proposed projects that are funded. This document, in many respects, is the outcome of both Governor Patrick and the Legislature’s seven year effort to deliver on transportation reform and investment. In 2007, an immediate transportation needs bond bill was passed and signed into law, and the Governor created the first ever Mobility Compact to enable the historically siloed transportation agencies to work together to improve our system. One year later, the Patrick Administration worked with the Legislature to enact the $3.0 billion Accelerated 1 Secretary of Transportation Richard Davey offering remarks at the 2013 Bridge Program to address hundreds of crumbling bridges in Transportation Day on the Hill event at the State House. Massachusetts. In 2009, Governor Patrick and the Legislature delivered landmark transportation reform legislation that eliminated bureaucracies, improved safety and the customer experience, saved the taxpayer hundreds of millions of dollars and created MassDOT. In 2011 and 2012, the Patrick Administration launched a series of statewide conversations to hear the public’s vision for the future of transportation in the Commonwealth and ideas for how to equitably pay for it. This past July, new transportation reforms and additional resources became available to invest in transportation. And now, we are publishing the first consolidated transportation capital plan in the Commonwealth’s recent history. This CIP is designed to be a transparent, comprehensive plan that describes how MassDOT is funded and provides a roadmap for balancing in our statewide transportation needs with fiscally constrained transportation resources.

These structures are built of stone blocks with a keystone in the center of the arch that is critical to its strength. They are all notable keystone arch constructions! Recently, The Berkshire Eagle had a front-page Outdoors Section article on historic keystone arch bridges in Massachusetts. Our own beautiful Campbell Falls bridge is not among those featured because the equally beautiful historic stone bridges in Chester, Middlefield, and Becket are now preserved, thanks to the efforts of several non- profit organizations. These four bridges were built from the early 1800s to photo by John Schreiber the beginning of the twentieth century as durable stone bridges to bear wagons over rivers and waterways, and later for railroads and automobiles. Block and tackle, wooden cranes, scaffolding, and pulleys with oxen and mules were used to raise the blocks into the correct, tight positions, often with little or no mortar required.

The database used to develop the developed for estimating the probability of a equation included a total of 305 stream sites (84 stream flowing perennially at a specific site in intermittent- and 89 perennial-stream sites in the Massachusetts. The equation provides city and State, and 50 intermittent- and 82 perennial-stream town conservation commissions and the sites in the South Coastal Basin). Stream sites Massachusetts Department of Environmental included in the database had drainage areas that Protection with an additional method for assessing ranged from 0.14 to 8.94 square miles in the State whether streams are perennial or intermittent and from 0.02 to 7.00 square miles in the South at a specific site in Massachusetts.

Despite this growing fame photo Irwin by Josh and the consequent difficulty (pre-pandem- ic) to get a reservation at peak times, local restauranteurs suddenly found themselves in a struggle to adapt to the world of Covid-19 and at least two of them have now made the hard choice to close for the winter. A closer look follows. A socially-distanced Woodstock at Cantina 229 Cantina 229 On a beautiful evening last summer, chef/owner Josh Irwin looked out the upstairs window at Cantina 229 during dinner service and smiled at the huge, colorful crowd of people, sitting at tables, on folding chairs and on blankets, all appropriately separated, with kids running all over. “It looks like a socially distanced Woodstock out there,” he said. “People were showing up in the summer an hour before we opened and setting up their blankets and chairs. It was wild.” The journey, however, from Governor Baker’s March 15, 2020, order that closed all restaurants, and the festival on the back lawn of the Cantina in the summer, was far from easy for Irwin and his staff.
