Weekly Question: What Wayland Road Most Needs Repaving or Repair?

The weekly question is back and we're turning our attention to Wayland's roads.

What road in Wayland bounces your car (and you) around the most? Which street causes you to tighten the seatbelt and grip the steering wheel a bit more tightly? Where is your "road less traveled" simply because you can't handle the condition of the pavement?

In April, a letter from the office of Gov. Deval Patrick informed Wayland's Board of Selectmen that Chapter 90 funds to the tune of $474,762 had been granted to the town for Fiscal Year 2013. According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation website, Chapter 90 grants are awarded to municipalities to reimburse documented expenditures related to "capital improvement projects for highway construction, preservation and improvement."

The funds are awarded based on a formula that looks at the number of road miles in a town, the population and the number of employees.
