Cool. Bring on the heavier traffic. Remove the city-blighting rusted hulks of overpasses, narrow the damned highway, put in some roundabouts, and starve the traffic. Somerville, or any city for that matter, isn't just a paved parking lot for suburbanites to trample over to get to work, it's a city with people and neighborhoods. Take down all these hulking, rotten relics from the 1950's: McGrath, Bowker and Casey. They make no sense in the real world of today, and it is confounding that MassDot seems hellbent on propping up these hemorrhaging dinosaurs from an age long gone.
Charlie -- you are living in a retro 19th Century -- a number of innovative people in Detroit and other places have figured out how to mass produce for the masses the automobile -- its all about FREEDOM
