Comments on: Celebrate the Earth with CLF this Saturday at EarthFest! http://www.clf.org/blog/massachusetts/celebrate-the-earth-with-clf-this-saturday-at-earthfest/ For a thriving New England Thu, 14 Feb 2013 21:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tony Redington http://www.clf.org/blog/massachusetts/celebrate-the-earth-with-clf-this-saturday-at-earthfest/#comment-896 Tony Redington Sat, 21 May 2011 13:37:59 +0000 http://www.clf.org/?p=4400#comment-896 Congratulations to the CLF and a host of others who through the years fought the insanity of the Circ. Sad that the Circ fight left VT 2A from the interstate to Five Corners, the IBM entrance on Park Street in Essex Jct., and the intersections serving Wiliston's retail complex without needed improvements--roundabouts--which require practically no environmental review whatsoever if approached one intersection at a time. The cancellation comes a critical time as a new federally initiated Rand Corp. study this week recommends federal highway funds only be used for projects with areawide (often mjulti-state) projects which if adopted would decimate federal funds now used for projects with little value. A series of intersection improvements along VT 2A may well be configured as an overall policy to fit nicely into the likely direction of federal highway funding. Roundabouts and bridge improvements represent the major area for Vermont highway investments and VT 2A intersections would score high on priority lists.
