(Northampton, MA) MASS DOT and the city of Northampton held a virtual meeting last night, calling for a roundabout to be built at the intersection of North King Street and Hatfield Street in Northampton. Local activist groups have asked for the project to be stopped after a Native American burial site was discovered in the construction area.
At last night’s meeting, designers of the roundabout stated that the traffic project would improve safety, accessibility and it would reduce traffic. According to project designer Alex Fagnand, the intersection has been the site of numerous severe auto accidents.
