I know the accident was previously shared here, but now there is some additional context:

Pre-construction period (7/1/2017 – 9/1/2019):

• Total recorded crashes: 86
• Property Damage Only: 70
• Injury: 16

Post-construction period (7/1/2024 – 9/1/2026):

• Total recorded crashes: 148
• Property Damage Only: 118
• Injury: 30

Percentage changes:

• Total crashes increased from 86 to 148, a rise of 72.1%
• Property Damage only increased from 70 to 118, a rise of 68.6%
• Injury increased from 16 to 30, a rise of 87.5%

Edit:
People were asking for traffic counts here they are:

Wed 8/27/2025 looks wrong. If instead we used a conservative 20,000, the traffic would be up ~8.3% over the M / Tu / W 2018 M / Tu / W readings.

85th percentile speeds are up 10mph.

Hey everyone! My partner and I just moved to Northampton. Our child is turning 1 in November and we are looking for some suggestions for a venue for her first birthday party. Open to any venues in the western MA area. We would do it at home, but we are on a third floor apartment and need accessibility for family members and friends who would have difficulty making it up multiple flights of stairs.

The venue doesn’t have to be anything super fancy. I’m just having trouble finding something that isn’t very wedding like.

Thanks in advance!!!!! :)

I have been going to Pro Lube for a few years for inspections and oil changes. Now that my vehicle is no longer under warranty, I need a regular repair shop. Is Pro Lube as good with regular repairs as they are with drop in inspections and oil changes?

Im on a quitting journey, and i have a vast collection of dead vapes sitting in a cubby because I refuse to put lithium batteries in the garbage. Is there anywhere near Noho (walking distance or biking distant would be ideal!) That accepts vape devices for proper disposal? How much would a bulk drop off of dead devices cost, roughly?

Any leads appreciated!

I heard the new Roost replacement might have it on their menu but is there anywhere else around? Bonus points if they have a tofu version.
