Property owners David and Laurie Rauseo requested of City Council in September a public-private partnership to carry out improvements to the intersection of Rte 4 and Whitney Rd. Council then accepted a City report in October that stated the Rauseos "have indicated that they have a full-service supermarket and ancillary retail operators ready to move forward on their property pending resolution to the intersection’s condition."
It was just announced that the new supermarket will be a Market Basket. Next steps include DOT review of the recent traffic conditions in the area and signing off on a proposed design for improvements.
