Massachusetts highway exit numbers to change in October to reflect mileage-based denominations to meet federal mandate – masslive.com

Amid constant changes in 2020 not even highway exit numbers are safe.

Massachusetts will begin to transition to mileage-based exit numbers in October, according to WCVB.

The change was announced last year as the state will drop its current sequential numbering in order to comply with a 2009 federal mandate.

Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Delaware are the only states that have yet to implement the change, and are at risk of losing federal funding if they do not comply.

Loss of housing

Destruction of housing due to highway construction is alarming due to the serious housing shortage in the U.S. In the 3 year period between 1967 and 1970 total displacements were as follows: 146,950 families or individuals, 16,679 businesses and non-profit organizations, and 4,890 farms.

It feels weird to be back on the bus. 🚌

It feels weird to be back on the bus. 🚌😷

But it makes it so easy to get back and forth to work and everybody is wearing a mask. Parking downtown is such a bitch and there is so many stoplights. Plus it’s important to support public transportation. The mask though is hot to wear.
