The Committee to Extend Route 7 regrets the proposed widening of the current Route 7.  It is not a long-term solution. The widening will result in more congestion and air pollution, as the road narrows back to 2 lanes north of Olmstead Hill Road. The addition of 6 or more new traffic lights will only encourage commuters to use the side roads in ever increasing numbers and with ever increasing frequency.
