Top crash locations in Massachusetts: These intersections are most common spots for car crashes
Today 5:30 AM
What’s the worst intersection in Massachusetts?
Drivers surely can think of a treacherous intersection on their commute, or maybe even a location near their home.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation uses a methodology to rank the state’s intersections, weighing crashes that resulted in injuries higher than those that just left property damage.
MassDOT’s most recent report, the 2017 Top Crash Locations Report, which was released in September, can be used as a first brush tool to evaluate top crash locations and improve road safety, according to the agency. The report focuses on intersections and is based on crashes entered into the Registry of Motor Vehicles’ Crash Data System.
TAUNTON Aries Clean Technologies and its supporters say its gasification plant, which would deal with the region s sewage sludge and could net millions of dollars for the city, is safe for public health and the environment.
Environmental and public health groups say the opposite, warning that the plant, which would be built on a part of the former landfill site on East Britannia Street, could have toxic air emissions, and would further burden a community that already had to deal with the negative impacts of the landfill, such as smell, noise and pollution.
But what do independent scientists have to say about the plant?
TAUNTON Everyone from city councilors to labor unions to environmental groups have weighed in on Aries Clean Technologies proposed gasification plant.
But do Tauntonians want a facility that deals with the region s sewage sludge and could bring in millions of dollars to the city, or are they worried about potential health and environmental impacts of the proposed plant at the former landfill on East Britannia Street?
It depends on who you ask.
Alison Rosa wants impartial information
Taunton resident Alison Rosa, 43, said she feels there are not enough studies and information on the type of facility Aries is proposing to be confident that it wouldn t have a negative environmental and public health impact.
TAUNTON Adding to public health concerns about a proposed gasification plant at the former Taunton landfill, the state s largest nurses union has sent a letter of concern to the city about the plant s potential impact on public health.
The plant proposed by Aries Clean Technologies would take the region s sewage sludge and turn it into biochar to be sold to the construction industry.
It would be located on a part of the former landfill site on East Brittania Street and could net millions for the city.
Taunton City Councilor Barry Sanders read the letter from the Massachusetts Nurses Association during a City Council meeting Tuesday night.
