For well more than a year, District One Councilor Cathy Schoen has been urging the State to reduce the speed limit on Montague Road. She has finally succeeded: based on her recent conversation with a Department of Transportation engineer, the speed limit will change from 50 mph to 45 mph in Amherst. This has as yet not happened; the paperwork is in process. Cathy will continue to lobby for a further reduction to 40 mph . Thank you, Cathy!
The next DONA goal is reducing the speed limit on Pine Street.
