Interchange/Dedham St. improvements should address cyclists’ needs

Editor’s note: The following letter was sent to the Board of Selectmen and is reprinted with permission from the author.

Dear Canton selectmen:

We understand from the article in the August 22 issue of the Canton Citizen that an agreement has been reached with University Station regarding infrastructure improvements between Canton and Westwood.

We would like to express our concern that pedestrians’ and cyclists’ needs be accommodated in the design of the new Canton I-93/I-95 interchange and ancillary roads. We cycle to the Route 128 Amtrak/MBTA station frequently. We currently use Elm Street to Green Lodge Street. We hope that either Green Lodge Street is rehabilitated or that there are cycle lanes added on Dedham Street and University Avenue. We also hope that there will be a sidewalk for the length of Dedham Street and on University Ave. from Dedham Street to the Route 128 Amtrak/MBTA station for pedestrians.

Best regards,

James M. Sharpe
