It's been a couple weeks since they removed the trees in the median at Exit 2 and I find myself really missing them. It used to be so great seeing the 'Bienvenue' at the border and being swallowed by all that green. That was my 'almost home' spot. Now that strip is starting to feel like an extension of Massachusetts... Do you think it will be that way all the way to Exit 5 when they finish?
Why would they take out trees? Were they unhealthy? I know there is some major construction at the southern end of 93, but I don't get down that way often enough to know the full scope of what's going on. Up at the northern end, which is closer to where I live there are many dying evergreens along the median, caused in large part by road salt.
The majority of the trees between Exit 2 and 3 are gone. Mainly in that section of the highway directly behind Canobie Lake. I know it's because they're expanding the highway, but I doubt they'll replant because that's how all the other new sections look.
They have (?) to put the new lanes somewhere and the median is the cheapest place. Yeah, I am going to miss the trees but not the lane drop traffic jam just past Exit 1 N.
I would rather have a medium speed three track commuter rail service but that was killed in the 1930's in favor of automobiles and road building. Now there are so many cars the roads are not working during rush hours.
The trains should be express from Boston to the Mass border, then stops in Salem, Windham, Derry, North Londonderry, and Manchester with connections to Hooksett, Concord and points North and West. Parallel high speed rail connections through Concord, Lebanon and Vermont to Quebec City and Montreal should also be developed. All of these rail lines should be powered by nuclear generated electricity instead of coal and oil.

I used to watch The Jetsons as a kid. I thought by now I would have a car that flies but that isn't happening either.

Well, maybe not a car. I'm thinking about investing in one of these:
