13.     WRITTEN MOTION, Councillor Gomes, requesting, that while the Massachusetts Department of Transportation put the final plans together for the new Route I-195 east and west exchange along with exits for Route 18, that MassDOT pave the on and off ramps of Route 18 due to the bad conditions of the exit ramps, said ramps are in desperate need of repaving and will only deteriorate as the weather changes, these exit ramps are a gateway to the City of New Bedford; and further that our State Delegation be sent letters requesting their assistance in getting this road work done as soon as possible.

13a.         COMMUNICATION, Councillor Gomes submitting a copy of a letter from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation regarding the proposed viaduct rehabilitation and construction time frame of the Bridges and two off-ramps that carry Interstate I-195 over the Route 18 interchange. (Copy all Councillors via email-January 29, 2019.)
