House of Representatives Completes Transportation Bond Bill

Representative Bradley secures funds for projects in Hull

Boston- Representative Garrett J. Bradley (D-Hingham) is pleased to announce the inclusion of several local transportation projects totaling nearly $550,000 that will benefit the town of Hull.  The funding was included, at the request of Representative Bradley, in the recently passed Transportation Bond Bill which is now before Governor Patrick and awaiting his signature.

Projects included that affect the town of Hull were:

• $400,000 for Summer Street and George Washington Boulevard Reconstruction: Study and design to make Summer Street in the town of Hingham, including the Hingham Rotary on Route 3A and George Washington Boulevard in the towns of Hingham and Hull, safer for commuters, pedestrians and bicyclists.

• $150,000 for the Pemberton Pier Commuter Float:  300-400 commuters take the commuter boat from Hull to Boston on a daily basis.  These funds will repair the commuter float which is exposed to the south west weather and wave action which damages the float at a much faster pace than other MBTA floats

Representative Bradley stated; “I was pleased that the projects that were included in the House version of the bill were accepted by the conference committee.  I look forward to working with Governor Patrick and the administration to see that these projects are prioritized.”

The Governor and his administration will decide which projects are prioritized.
