Hurricane Betty's is only the latest closure in that stretch. Just you wait until the Vernon Connected project gets rolling. It's supposed to create new connections between Vernon Hill and Green Island, with a lot of attention being paid to the 290 interchange at Kelley Square. This is a bigger project than the remaking of Kelley Square. Bigger than the dual roundabout (which will be built) at WSU. Much bigger than Mill St. Despite numerous public hearings, and five years of planning so far, nobody seems to even be a little aware this is happening. Mass DOT and the Central Mass Regional Planning Committee do their work without any serious oversight from the City until it's too late for the City to have any impact.
