Route 2 Intersection in Plainfield update: The news is that $40,000 in the VTrans budget for FY15/16 earmarked for preliminary studies for the planned improvement of the "Peek-a-boo Corner" intersection, which, when completed, will include a stop light, a crosswalk and the elimination of the "island". It's a great sign that they are finally starting on this, but don't expect the project to be completed for another five years or so.
Thanks to David Strong for keeping this issue in front of the people at Vtrans. Dave dug up the following newspaper clip from the Times Argus in 1969.
