I swear I read something about an upcoming meeting that is addressing this absolute cluster of a roadway. I think the Newton mayor's office shared a link to attend virtually, and I think the meeting is hosted by MassDOT.

However, I cannot find any record of this upcoming meeting, which points to the lack of communication around what is a horrendously unsafe road. I'd love anyone who has had a near death experience there to be able to participate.

If my recollection is correct, the agenda includes a presentation of possible plans / options to alleviate the congestion from the Pike off ramp and improve the overall flow of the area. Even a yield sign or two would be a massive step forward!

The longtime residents are still salty that the Pike ruined Newton Corner by effectively bisecting it decades ago. There would be ample support for just getting rid of the whole area, stupid hotel overpass and all.
