Other parts of the plan call for no direct access to properties

Other parts of the plan call for no direct access to properties abutting the proposed roadway. Access to the roadway would be limited to grade intersections with existing cross streets. It has also been suggested that the speed limit for this potential new street should be posted at  mph.Planning Board Chairman Vincent Russo explained that there is no funding plan in place for such a project.

Will the taxes go up Absolutely. There will be a cost in bearing a year bond as one possibility he said. We have to put this out on the table to see what the townspeople are looking for. Are they tired of the congestion When traffic conditions improve, say if another lane opens up on a highway, property values around that highway go up considerably Planning Board member Glenn Della-Monica added. There is a quid pro quo.

Nashua developer Thomas Monahan owns parcels in south Hudson off Lowell Road totaling more than  acres. He told board members that the land has been his for roughly years and that he was interested in working with the town and was hopeful of developing it in some way.

Maddox said the Planning Board should look at what it can do for segments of the roadway, if not the whole roadway in area of River and Dracut roads. He noted that he spent a recent Saturday evening riding around with a town police officer to check out reports of excessive speed in this area. He asked the officer to keep his radar on the entire time, and he only saw speeds barely reach mph over the speed limit.Award-winning Tetris documentary now available on DVD
