Above: In November, the DPW released a video update showing changes to the plan since the MassDOT project hearing in June. Here, a street in Hudson is shown as an example of the the planned layout for much of the road. [Note: the sidewalk composition may be different. It is currently planned as asphalt, but that’s a detail to be finalized at a later project stage.] (Image from video posted to You Tube by Southborough Access Media)
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation plans to hold a meeting on the Main Street reconstruction project on Wednesday, March 11, at 7:00 pm.
The meeting was originally scheduled for January 28. The blizzard hit a couple days before. It seems like public works and transportation have been buried ever since. Let’s hope things ease up over the next couple weeks!
This will not be a public hearing to solicit feedback, like the meeting held last June. Instead, it will be an “informational meeting” on the project. Their stated purpose is:
is to provide the public with the opportunity to become fully acquainted with the proposed Reconstruction
However, MassDOT promises:
All views and comments made at the meeting will be reviewed and considered to the maximum extent possible.
The meeting will be held at the Southborough Senior Center, at 9 Cordaville Road.
