Impact analysis
Road and bridge work costs taxpayers nothing locally, but the City will pay for the water line replacement through its CIP.
All travelers on Rt. 101 — better pavement, safer intersection, bikers and pedestrians get real shoulders.
About 34 properties along the corridor will have right-of-way impacts; several Marlboro Road homes face retaining walls.
