Supporters say it’s a safety upgrade for big rigs, but critics question the need, arguing the stretch is already safe and the funds could be better spent elsewhere—especially since cyclists already have better options. The debate boils down to priorities: is this the right use of taxpayer dollars when other Vermont roads might benefit more? The project moves forward, but the conversation about its value is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
