Looking for a spot to put this I realized there is no catch all thread specifically for road developments/construction, theres just a bunch of individual threads. Instead of making a thread for roads in Lynn which is pretty niche I figured Id just make a general road development thread.

“LYNN, Mass — A well-known florist in Lynn says he will do whatever it takes to prevent his property from being infiltrated for an upcoming construction project.
Boston 25 News has learned that the $5.4 million proposed MassDOT project could also impact at least 20 homeowners on a busy stretch of Broadway Street.
Salvy Migliaccio, owner of Salvy the Florist & Steve’s Greenhouses, said the neighborhood was left blindsided by recent letters from the city of Lynn.
A statement from Lynn’s Department of Public Works said the state-funded project would provide much needed upgrades for better traffic flow, enhanced pedestrian safety and increased handicapped accessibility.
It would span a nearly half mile stretch of Broadway Street from Jenness Street to Wyoma Square.
“The state first targeted this area for improvements five years ago and the plans are now coming to fruition,” said the statement from Lynn DPW Commissioner Andrew Hall. “It is critical that the City does what is necessary to ensure that this funding is utilized.”
Migliaccio said he worries that the project would cause him to lose parking spots out front of his business.
A city spokesperson pointed out that those some of those spots are technically supposed to be a bus stop.
However, Migliaccio said that the bus stop is rarely used….”
