• Traffic analysis sharpens debate over Lynnway (lynnfieldweeklynews.com) — Nahant residents and town leaders are deeply involved in the growing debate over the Lynnway Multimodal Corridor Project, which could slightly increase commute times while adding bus, bike, and pedestrian improvements. Updated traffic modeling, rising opposition petitions, and a joint letter from the Nahant, Marblehead, and Swampscott select boards are pressuring state agencies to provide clearer data, ongoing monitoring, and concrete performance guarantees after construction.
