Changes in plan for Greenlodge Street in Dedham
DEDHAM Changes could be coming to Greenlodge Street.
During the Select Board s meeting on Feb. 25, Town Engineer Jason Mammone discussed possible measures to deal with speeding along that roadway.
There is a speeding problem, he said. We need to look at that.
Mammone dismissed the installation of speed bumps, as Greenlodge is an emergency access road. Instead, he suggested narrowing the roadway by installing a sidewalk on the east side of Greenlodge from Sprague Street to Colwell Drive.
Mammone said it would cost about $84,000 for a survey and design.
The board voted to support the project.

As the health benefits of outdoor activities during the pandemic become clearer, running is experiencing a huge surge in popularity

FOOT HIGH: It seems that more of us than ever are running in the pandemic and it may be boosting our resistance to Covid-19.
If our lives have been defined by Covid-19 over the last year, our health has been defined by what s become known as Covid-15 a joking reference to the pounds that many people have put on while living with quarantine, working from home and generally social distancing since last March.
But for Iraj Zarrinnaal of San Jose, it s more like Covid-13.1 as in 13.1 miles considering the number of half-marathons he ran last year. Zarinnaal did 28 in all, including 17 consecutive weekends of them, on his way to running a total of 2,020 miles in 2020.
