Angry West Kennebec Road Residents Present Speed, Safety Concerns at Machias Selectboard Meeting

By Paul Sylvain

Machias residents on West Kennebec Road may be few in number, but many showed up in force at the Machias Selectboard’s Sept. 24 meeting to voice their concerns about unabated traffic and safety concerns in their neighborhood.

Residents say they’ve been nearly hit in their yards and while walking their dogs by vehicles traveling well beyond the posted 35 mph speed limit. The road is narrow, barely measuring 18 feet wide in places, and features a steep, blind hill lacking painted divider lines.
