AGAWAM — The City Council recently approved land takings by eminent domain for the state’s Maple Street Safe Routes to School Project. According to Public Works Superintendent Mario Mazza, the project will consist of installing a shared-use path at O’Brien’s Corner and along Maple Street to Walnut Street. The intersection of Bridge and Maple streets will be raised in order to slow down cars. There will also be new crosswalks and flashing beacons at the intersection. Maple Street will also be repaved up to Walnut Street, which is the town’s contribution to the project.
