There's a story in the T&G about resurrecting the idea of an exit on MA 90 (Turnpike) at the intersection of Rt 56 in Leicester. The intent is to make access to the Worcester airport easier. I couldn't agree more with this.
There are several reasons why - if you look at a map as the crow flies it's one of the closest points that 90 intersects a major roadway. There's also room on Rt 56 to do things properly with little disruption of the denser populations in Worcester and Auburn. Selectman Brennan in Leicester is looking at this as a potential to drive business and investment in Leicester.
Hopefully this gets explored further because it's a logical place to do it. I applaud selectman Brennan for courageously proposing this!

I can`t agree with you more CT. If I remember right when all this airport roadway was first comeing about wasn`t the original plan to get off of 290 in Worcester and go down Cambridge st.? They quickly figured out that the road was to narrow and the train bridge was to low. Then wasn`t there another idea to go down Pleasant st. or somewhere like that? The committee was looking into N Oxford st. in Auburn but figured it was to costly to replace the bridge at the bottom of the hill below St. Joesph`s , also that the road is the most traveled road in all of Auburn it can`t take anymore traffic let alone truck traffic! So that leaves us with the most closest and lodgical choice to build a new ramp off Rt90! How long do you think that it will take for the big wig politions to get off their butts and figure something out for this to happen? My wife and I just drove over airport hill yesterday and I comented on how it`s a shame that they could build such a nice termanal and see it vacant. The parking lot was empty except for rental cars. Can anybody even remember when they were first trying to put this all together anymore? How long has this been going on now it`s been so long that I forgot?
