Not for permission, though.
Believing that most Dalton residents question the need for a roundabout at Main and South streets, town leaders decided Monday to convene a listening session in September wholly apart from steps taken by the state Department of Transportation.
The goal: Find any means possible to tell the DOT what Dalton thinks of the plan.
âFolks in town just donât want it,â said Joe Diver, chair of the Select Board.
Diver used a public records request to obtain details on what Dalton residents told the DOT about the project, in an early comment period that closed last month. The project would remake the first intersection travelers encounter coming east on Routes 8 and 9 from Pittsfield.
