Fruit street.... is already really easy to drive around. It take about 2 minutes.

Won't somebody just think of the children!

I'm sure somebody has used that argument to support this by now.

There is no excuse for government taking land, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. EVER.

I'm reallly getting tired of all the traffic tearing up Fruit St. Also, ambulances need get everybody to the hospital faster and this road will help that! It's getting worse and worse by the month. Now the hospital is adding more services which will bring in more people - come on! We need this road!

Coming down the road from the hospital and seeing that little house sitting in the way of me getting to Clinton St and the highway just galls me! I have to fight the traffic all the way down to the light!

Also, we need to get phase three started and extend the road to 393. Stop all the planning and just get it done!

That's ridiculous, you can see on the map that all you have to do is drive to south fruit street.

And trust me we are talkin a few hundred yards.  Fruit street does NOT get a lot of traffic either.  I go down that street once a week.

you are missing the forest thru the trees...

the St. Paul's School wants this badly so they can turn a public road (short cut thru campus to 89) into a private road.

SPS has the largest endowment of any prep school in the nation...they have a lot of influence in Concord.
