Letter: A few Casey Arborway questions

A few questions about the proposed elimination of the Casey Overpass:

Why is a group of bicyclists passing through our community given priority over long-term, politically active and concerned residents living with the threat of this disastrous plan?

Why does the Department of Transportation cloak their preference for the cheap solution over the promised, planned replacement project? Do they think we can’t connect the dots?

Do they think their proclamation that the decision is done and over dissuades a neighborhood that was told the same thing about Interstate 95 bisecting Jamaica Plain, the morgue moving to the State Lab, or the trolley track returning gridlock to Centre Street?

Is it in Jamaica Plain’s best interest to do the wrong thing under threat of getting nothing? Why can’t we push for the best solution: Keep tailpipes and traffic on a bridge, not a six-lane highway scarring our community!
