The new Route 7 project is a waste of money
Vermont’s federal legislators secured $19.7 million for Route 7 reconstruction between Brandon and Pittsford to add truck climbing lanes and wider shoulders for cyclists. Louis Meyers from Shelburne, Vt., argues the project is a waste of money, citing existing road safety, potential traffic backups, and safer alternative routes for cyclists.
