151 Highway Safety Evalulation

The Issue

A 4 year old boy lost his life yesterday in a car accident on Nathan Ellis Highway (Route 151). It is time we push local and state officials to put pressure on the DOT to investigate the dangerousness of this road and make necessary changes.

Route 151 has been consistently one of the highest crash rate sites in the Commonwealth on a regular basis, and the Cape Cod Commission had laid out a list of improvements in 2018 to help alleviate crashes.  Not all these improvements have been done, and we need our local and statewide elected officials to push to make these changes now, and others, as we can't afford to lose any more lives.

Something must be done and as concerned citizens our voices need to be heard.
