Title: Stimulous Money For Route 104
Post by: Henry on May 10, 2009, 07:43:12 AM

The Burlington Free Press reported today that:

"Vermont will have $117 million in federal stimulus money to spend on roads and bridges this year -- key since transportation revenues have been shrinking. The Agency of Transportation will request bids on about 90 projects totaling more than $250 million by fall. One of the projects will be an 11-mile stretch of Vermont 104 from the Fairfax/Cambridge line to St. Albans. "It would be a godsend. This piece of highway is very heavily used for east-west traffic, actually even from Maine to Plattsburgh," said Bob Horr, Fairfax Selectboard chairman."

Is there any way we the citizens can inquire or lobby to have this happen?  I know I have to travel the section between Fletcher Rd. and 104A every day for work and that it was a mess this past winter.  Hopefully the project would be more than just a resurfacing as the problem sections are the culverts causing the "frost heaves", especially the ones close to Nan's.
