Exactly. Underwater pipelines are not exactly high tech. MA should pursue it on paper, and then approach NY, explaining that MA would much rather work with NY to get this done and have the opportunity for some jobs in NY to come from it, but if they’re not interested, working with NJ is on the...

Go around them or persuade them.

Or just build the pipelines necessary to connect to the broader natural gas network.

Shift away from an overabundant cheap and reliable source of energy.

Thanks!

I was hoping for just a simple map, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I'm sure it was shared somewhere, but I'm struggling to find it. Does anyone know where I can find the proposed layout as seen in that instagram video? All the others seem to have no rotaries, and trying to compare a video to an image is a bit of a hassle.

That does not mean building a rail line will turn NH into MA. Its all about marketing: position the CR as a way to make it easier for Republicans to relocate to NH.

Thats pretty much it. In the interest of keeping things tidy, I’d say down to rt 44, but the area around 3a in Kingston is a tight fit.

That makes sense to me. Nothing against Chick-Fil-A, but people need to be able to grab food while they're on trips, and people drive on Sundays.

I’m not talking about traffic after the bridge on rte 6. Rte 3 is quite congested, well away from the canal. Edit: and lets be honest, if rte 3 wasn't overly congested, then they would have their gimmicky 'its okay to drive in the breakdown lane during rush hour' solution. Something should be done?

Does anyone know of any information on any efforts to widen rte 3 south? There's an old thread on it that hasn't been touched in a decade: https://archboston.com/community/threads/route-3-widening.4408/ I thought for sure there would be something connected to the canal bridge project, but...

Well, they *could* blast out the outcrops, but that’d take forever to get approced. Is anyone who is involved w/ the West Springfield CSX yard educating people about how it could ease congestion on I-90?

I’m thinking the purpose would be to avoid congestion from outlying suburbs going into Providence. Also, there was an Amtrak stop in the 70s, apparently. Have to think population growth in the meantime might make it more useful than then: Bristol County is about 30% more populous than in 1970.

Amtrak Northeast Regional stop in Mansfield. Either at the existing stop or right alongside 495. Existing would seem easier, might annoy local NIMBYs. Alongside 495 would seem more convenient, as it’d be easier to get to for anyone who is between Providence and 128.
