Route 1 improvements would cost more than $175 million according to estimates based on a concept developed more than six years ago. The application notes that the two communities have different concerns and priorities in their joint project. “Saugus believes that to a lesser but still significant degree, some casino generated traffic may bypass lower Route 1 exiting the highway onto Walnut Street-Central Street or Main Street-Center Street and on to Winter Street then Ballard Street and then Route 107 as an alternative way to access Route 16 towards Everett,” the Impact Description section states. “Revere will be negatively impacted by traffic heading to Route 16 west from Route 1 south and some northeast originated traffic will choose to follow Route 107 through the heart of the city to access Route 16 west,” the application concludes. “And of course, Revere will undoubtedly see an increase of traffic along already overtaxed Route 1A as residents of North Shore coastal communities use that route to connect to Route 16 and the Wynn Casino,” it says. “The City and the Town hope to work together and enlist the support of other nearby impacted communities, so as to affect key roadway improvements along these arteries that will help alleviate existing traffic and offset anticipated traffic problems resulting from increased volume attributed to the new casino.” WE WORK FOR YOU! * Have your car repaired by Real Manufacturer Certiified Technicians * An I-CAR GOLD CLASS SHOP Highest Certificate in the Repair Industry * Premier Insurance Co.
