Quoting from the Northampton Subdivision Regulations:

"It is the (Planning) Board's policy not to approve streets that do not connect to existing neighborhoods or do not provide for connections in the future. The applicant must show a scenario of how a street connection can be made. Further, the developer shall make every effort to avoid the creation of dead-end streets and must connect their subdivision to existing dead-end streets whenever reasonably possible. Dead end streets are more expensive to maintain, limit emergency access, and reduce the sense of connection and equality that comes from interconnecting street grids."
