ooh god don't bring back the memory of the Gardiner-Randolph bridge. If it were not for the heads-up planning of Gardiner's PD, in putting an Officer at the light, it would have been 10 times the head ace.
Well if they close down most of 295 the State Police that occupy the Gardiner Toll will be forced to cover the back roads, just like the old days.report abuse

DOT will do what they want.
They won't take anyone's suggestions, they don't care how it impacts other roads or people. They're gonna do what they're gonna do. Regardless.

It sounds like the same old thing with the DOT. Not listening to the public and doing what they want to. Redirection of traffic will make things miserable.Traffic lights won't make a difference at all.

Anyone remember the way MDOT handled the traffic with the Gardiner-Randolph bridge. That was a complete fiasco.report abuse
