additional retail, office, housing and medical facilities. An additional 30 housing units will be completed in Phase III. Wyncoop said the job will involve “historic renovation of three buildings, apartments and offices.� Bob Stevens, founder and president of Stevens & Associates, Brattleboro, Vt., the design firm on the project, said, “Each space is designed to leverage the characteristics of the building and surrounding site. The retail is located at the back of sidewalk storefronts. Restaurants are designed to have street frontage and outdoor seating. Office and residential are on upper floors. Residential has upper floor and outdoor decks to provide private space.� Wyncoop noted a variety of construction equipment will be used in the project, including a John Deere 320D skid steer, a Komatsu 270 pay loader, a Caterpillar 320D excavator, a Genie 65-ft. lift and a JLG 55-ft. shooting boom forklift. The buildings were constructed in the 1800s and have accumulated wear and tear over generations and decades of vacancy on the upper floor. Bennington has experienced an extended period of stagnant population growth, low wages and an economy that lags behind the economic growth of other areas of Vermont. The Putnam Block is one of the most visible pieces of real estate in Bennington with the community’s most iconic structures. Its redevelopment serves as a catalyst for business and community development in Southwestern Vermont. Jim Brown, President/CEO of The Bank of Bennington, said, “We watched our Main Street empty out with vacant store fronts and
upper stories. Our businesses struggled to not only attract workers but retain the ones they had. It became obvious that the only way to reverse our negative trend was to be bold and invest in ourselves, the community and future generations by reimaging the downtown.â€? Stevens said the design retains some historic elements of the buildings. “The character defining historic elements were identified, inventoried and then incorporated into the new design,â€? he explained. “In some places, where new walls were added for insulation, the additions were designed to be compatible while retaining original fabric.â€? Bread Loaf is the lead contractor on the job that includes a number of subcontractors, including Jerome Construction, Southern Vermont Masonry, Jeffords Steel & Engineering Co., Bay State Elevator Co., Tri-State Sprinkler Corp. and Interstate Electrical Services Corp. The state’s political leaders have praised the project. “It is one of the most important economic development initiatives underway in Vermont right now,â€? Gov. Phil Scott said. “Today we celebrate the kickoff of this historic project that will revitalize downtown Bennington,â€? said Congressman Peter Welch. Secretary Michael Schirling of the VT Agency of Commerce & Community Development said, “We look for creative solutions to enable our communities to remain vibrant or experience a resurgence. The Putnam Block Redevelopment Project provided a solution for Bennington to reinvigorate their downtown and shape its future.â€? CEG

Congestion Report Highlights Important Policy Priorities REPORT from page 1
problem’s causes and recommends solutions ranging from transit improvements to more telecommuting to conducting a feasibility study of congestion pricing using managed lanes. As part of efforts to provide workers with more options for commuting, MassDOT also announced that it is accepting applications for a new grant program to support innovative programs such as first/last mile van connections, partnerships between municipalities or employers with Regional Transit Authorities, and vanpools and carpools, which will help increase shared ridership options. The administration also will create a new grant program for municipalities to offer technical support so that cities and towns can develop their own transportation and management plans. “Traffic and congestion are a nuisance for too many residents, and this report provides our administration with robust data to help us make informed decisions on how to build on our efforts to tackle the Commonwealth’s congestion issues,” said Gov. Charlie Baker, who directed MassDOT in August 2018 to begin a comprehensive analysis of when, where and why roadway congestion is worsening in Massachusetts. “From this report, we have identified several ways to address congestion by expanding capacity on our transit system, adding more housing, and exploring managed lanes to help make people’s commutes be more reliable. We look forward to working with the Legislature, local government and the private sector to develop solutions to reduce the variability in people’s commutes.”
“Statewide, all leaders, including those in government and who manage cities and towns, must be part of conversations now with the business community and other groups to assist the administration in developing a coordinated set of policy options to restore reliability to our transportation system,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “The report’s recommendations can help our administration take important steps to improve the quality of life in the years ahead.” Key Recommendations The following report’s recommendations address several important policy priorities — reliability, accessibility, sustainability and equity: • Address local and regional bottlenecks where feasible. • Actively manage state and local roadway operations. • Reinvent bus transit at both the MBTA and Regional Transit Authorities. • Increase MBTA capacity and ridership. • Work with employers to give commuters more options, including providing grants for employers, Transit Management Associations, Regional Transit Authorities and others to provide innovative workforce transit options to employees. • Create infrastructure to support shared travel modes. • Increase remote work and telecommuting. • Produce more affordable housing, especially near transit. • Encourage growth in less congested Gateway Cities. • Investigate the feasibility of congestion pricing mechanisms that make sense for Massachusetts, particularly

“managed lanes.” “We cannot eliminate congestion entirely, but we can better manage it to make trips more reliable and predictable,” said Transportation Secretary and CEO Stephanie Pollack. “That includes new initiatives as well as a greater emphasis on practices already in use, such as Traffic Management and Systems Operations (TSMO) practices that have been used in Massachusetts for years. Moving forward, managing roadways through a TSMO framework must become as much a part of MassDOT’s DNA as fixing potholes and plowing snow. Advancing, expanding, and institutionalizing these kinds of solutions will help limit the effects of crashes, work zones and weather on already lengthy commutes.” The report takes a broad approach to potential congestion relief solutions, focusing on ways to improve access to jobs for workers within a reasonable amount of time, rather than just on increasing speeds on congested roadways. As the report states, “Traffic congestion effectively shrinks the number of communities with good automobile access to jobs and high housing costs limit who can afford to live in those high-access communities. For this reason, the quantity and location of housing is a big part of the congestion equation. If the Commonwealth strives to maximize reasonable and convenient access to jobs and other opportunities for its residents, increasing the availability and affordability of housing in high-access areas is a critical factor to achieve that goal.” The report also evaluated different methods of congestion pricing using Massachusetts traffic data and identified “managed lanes” as an approach for further study: • Managed lanes: MassDOT will investigate the feasibility of implementing “managed lanes” on one or more highways in Greater Boston. Managed lanes are a system of parallel lanes on a road, with one or more lanes for drivers that remain free to use while one or more lanes require drivers to pay a fee, which may be constant or vary depending on congestion levels. Managed lanes also could be used by carpools, buses and vans carrying large amounts of people for no cost, allowing more people to travel in a faster lane with less congestion and no congestion fees. Key Findings About Congestion The report describes the locations, extent and causes of vehicular congestion. The five most severe occurrences of weekday congestion occur on: I-93 southbound from Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford to McGrath Highway in Somerville at 7 a.m., Route 2 eastbound approaching Alewife Station at 8 a.m., I-93 northbound from the Braintree Split to Neponset Circle at 7 a.m., Route 2 eastbound approaching Alewife Station at 7 a.m., and I-93 southbound from Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford to McGrath Highway in Somerville at 8 a.m. Additional data identify several corridors in the state with segments that are congested for more than 10 hours per day. Nine roadway segments each see more than 10 hours per day of congested or highly congested conditions: • Route 1A southbound in Revere, • American Legion Highway, (Route 60), in Revere, • O’Brien and McGrath Highways northbound from Leverett Circle to Mystic Valley Parkway, • the Fellsway and Main Street southbound from Reading to Medford, see REPORT page 18

Concerns Raised About Lack of Transportation Borrowing By Susan Haigh 140 Nutmeg Road South South Windsor, CT 06074

Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticut’s municipal leaders are raising concerns about the lack of state borrowing authorizations, noting the slowdown has affected local repaving and other transportationrelated projects. While the General Assembly passed a two-year budget on time this year, lawmakers have yet to finalize the general bonding portion of the budget for this fiscal year and next fiscal year, with negotiations continuing. And the State Bond Commission, which ultimately doles out bond authorizations for capital projects, has met twice since Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont took office in January. No meetings have been scheduled yet for the rest of the year. Lamont, who chairs the panel, has made it a priority to reduce the state’s bonded indebtedness — calling it his “debt diet” — and has canceled many of the meetings that were traditionally held monthly in prior administrations. “Towns and cities in Connecticut are reliant on the state to get them their necessary state funds on time,” said Connecticut Conference of Municipalities spokesman Kevin Maloney, adding how municipalities are awaiting a total of $90 million in infrastructure-related grants from the state. “Without any approvals, they force towns to expend their own fund for repaving and other transportation related projects — many of which are time sensitive and must be completed before winter sets in.” Max Reiss, Lamont’s communications director, said there are “many factors at play” when trying to schedule Bond Commission meetings, including the needs of the state and the ability to have enough members on hand to ensure a quorum. He didn’t rule out some funding ultimately being released by the panel. “The Bond Commission can still authorize past allocations that have not been canceled, so the state can continue with some prior authorizations without a new bond package,” Reiss said. “Governor Lamont is committed to devoting serious time, effort, and capital into transportation investments, as those kinds of projects will help get Connecticut’s economy moving again.” Don Shubert, president of the Connecticut Construction Industries Association noted that construction jobs in Connecticut are
slipping in the middle of the construction season. There were 58,500 construction jobs in the state in July 2018, compared to 57,000 in July of this year. On a month-to-month basis, construction employment continued to decline by 0.5 percent in July, or a loss of 300 jobs.
“We cannot get the federal funding without first showing that the state match is in place.”

But he said it’s unclear whether the state’s bonding situation is to blame, adding “we haven’t been able to make that connection.” Judd Everhart, spokesman of the state’s Department of Transportation, said the agency “could be making decisions on which capital projects to delay or postpone” if bond funding isn’t released by the end of the 2019 calendar year. But he said the department is “OK for now.” The transportation department’s capital program includes projects that are funded entirely with state money and projects that receive federal funding but require a state match, typically 20 percent. “We cannot get the federal funding without first showing that the state match is in place,” Everhart said. In a typical year, the department receives about $750 million in federal funding for its various projects, which is matched by about $150 million in state bonds. “Timely approval of the DOT capital budget will provide an unimpeded implementation of the combined state and federal capital program. The construction industry expects this to occur,” he added. Everhart said the first significant project that could run into funding problems would be the Rochambeau Bridge on Interstate 84 over the Housatonic River, between Southbury and Newtown. The approximate $70 million project is scheduled to be advertised in mid-December. “Until the fiscal year 2020 capital budget is passed and a Bond Commission meeting is held, we do not have the funds available to advance this project,” Everhart said.

N.H. Ranks 24th in Nation in Highway Performance New Hampshire’s highway system ranks 24th in the nation in overall cost-effectiveness and condition, according to the Annual Highway Report by Reason Foundation. This is a six-spot increase from the previous report, where New Hampshire ranked 30th overall. In safety and performance categories, New Hampshire ranks 15th in overall fatality rate, 38th in structurally deficient bridges, 26th in traffic congestion, 7th in urban Interstate pavement condition and 1st in rural Interstate pavement condition. On spending, New Hampshire ranks 24th in total spending per mile and 22nd in capital and bridge costs per mile. “To improve in the rankings, New Hampshire needs to reduce its percentage of structurally deficient bridges, decrease its maintenance disbursements per mile and improve its rural arterial pavement condition. New Hampshire is in the bottom 15 for structurally deficient bridges, maintenance disbursements per mile and rural arterial pavement condition. “Compared to nearby states, the report finds New Hampshire’s overall highway performance is better than Connecticut (ranks 44th), Massachusetts (ranks 46th) and New York (ranks 45th),” said Baruch Feigenbaum, lead author of the Annual Highway Report and assistant director of transportation at Reason Foundation. “New Hampshire is doing worse than comparable states such as Maine (ranks 4th) and Vermont (ranks 19th).” New Hampshire’s best rankings are in rural Interstate pavement condition (1st) and urban Interstate pavement condition (7th).
New Hampshire’s worst rankings are structurally deficient bridges (38th) and maintenance disbursements per mile (37th). New Hampshire’s state-controlled highway mileage makes it the 45th largest highway system in the country. Reason Foundation’s Annual Highway Report measures the condition and costeffectiveness of state-controlled highways in 13 categories, including pavement condition, traffic congestion, structurally deficient bridges, traffic fatalities, and spending (capital, maintenance, administrative, overall) per mile. The Annual Highway Report is based on spending and performance data submitted by state highway agencies to the federal government for 2016 as well as urban congestion data from INRIX and bridge condition data from the Better Roads inventory for 2017. For more details on the calculation of each of the 13 performance measures used in the report, as well as the overall performance measure, please refer to the appendix in the main report. The report’s dataset includes Interstate, federal and state roads but not county or local roads. All rankings are based on performance measures that are ratios rather than absolute values: the financial measures are disbursements per mile, the fatality rate is fatalities per 100 million vehicle-miles of travel, the urban congestion measure is the annual delay per auto commuter, and the others are percentages. For example, the state ranking 1st in structurally deficient bridges has the smallest percentage of structurally deficient bridges, not the smallest number of structurally deficient bridges.

Traffic Solutions Designed to Build on Work Already Started REPORT from page 12
• the Sagamore Bridge, Fresh Pond Parkway in Cambridge, and • I-93, (from Boston to New Hampshire, running along the Central Artery portion, the Southeast Expressway segment and a segment that partially carries the I-95/128 designation.) One concern is the spread of congestion toward the outer reaches of the Boston metropolitan area from the area inside I-95/128 to the area extending out to I-495 including radial roadways such as Route 3, Route 24 and the Massachusetts Turnpike. While congestion is not as persistently severe outside of Greater Boston, it is nonetheless a source of frustration for drivers who travel along Route 9, Route 7, I-91, I-290, or some western portions of the Mass Pike during peak commuting periods. Importance of Additional Local Traffic Data The report recognizes the limits of data to capture the full effect of congestion on local and other roads. “While anecdotal and experiential information suggests that local roads are also significant sites of congestion, there is simply no authoritative data reported about them,” the study explained. Such local congestion is slowing down MBTA buses, which need to see ridership increase as part of addressing the region’s congestion problems. The study notes that “the MBTA now assumes that its buses will travel at their slowest speeds since data has been available,” an assumed speed of 11.5 miles per hour. To address this problem, the study calls for more partnerships between the MBTA and Regional Transit Authorities and cities and towns to create bus priority infrastructure such as bus lanes and transit signal priority. Building on Work Already Underway The report explains that MassDOT and the Baker-Polito Administration “have not waited to complete this report in order to begin implementing solutions to address congestion.” The recommendations build on work already underway to address local and regional congestion bottlenecks and improve public transportation provided by Regional Transit Authorities and grow transit ridership throughout the Commonwealth. The Baker-Polito Administration’s Housing Choice Initiative is spurring housing production while the Transformative
Development Initiative is accelerating economic growth in Gateway Cities. Across agencies, the administration continues to advance transit-oriented development projects across the Commonwealth to encourage people to live closer to transit options. To date, these projects include 1,425 housing units, 481 of which are affordable units, along with over 660,000 ft. of commercial space. There are an additional seventeen projects in the works that will produce 2,200 housing units, including 650 affordable units, and almost 3 million feet of commercial space. The report also states that the administration looks forward to working with the Legislature to advance three pieces of legislation that address the report’s recommendations: • Housing Choice legislation that would enable cities and towns to adopt certain zoning best practices related to housing development by a simple majority vote, rather than the current two-thirds supermajority. • An Act Relative to Public Safety and Transparency by Transportation Network Companies that would allow for additional data to be collected from TNCs and provided to municipalities, which will help them make better informed transportation planning decisions. • An Act Authorizing and Accelerating Transportation investment, an $18 billion transportation bond bill filed on July 25 by the Baker-Polito Administration to continue the administration’s efforts to modernize and improve the reliability of the Commonwealth’s transportation system. The bond bill includes $50 million for a new local bottleneck program to fund proven, relatively low-cost investments to address local congestion hotspots, a tax credit for employers for telecommuting and $50 million for a Transit Infrastructure Partnership Program with grants enabling transit authorities and municipalities to work together to provide bus lanes, transit signal priority and other infrastructure to keep buses moving. The report’s conclusion urges action now by many stakeholders — to “double down on initiatives already underway and investigate solutions not yet tried, including ‘managed lanes’ that may allow Massachusetts to use congestion pricing in a manner that addresses the serious equity issues that can arise when trying to control congestion by making drivers pay more.” As the report notes, “A range of factors created today’s growing congestion problem. Only an equally wide range of actions by public and private players alike can fix it.”
