highway department carries out such work on country lanes.
They have no concern for the existing beauty in the design offices’ 8tmight-line-on-the-map approach to “improvement.” This chain saw and bulldozer mindset is then turned loose to carry out such work in all haste, with no second thought to how centuries-old oaks and poplars alongside may be saved.
Hopefully this letter will generate concern, questions and even confrontations, addressed to the responsible state officials. I put forward this one: Why was this quiet, low-traffic lane selected for “improvement” when there are many projects shown on this six-year plan probably more deserving of attention and expense in tax dollars?
The total devastation carried out on Rt. 630 was indeed rape of a beautiful country lane.
