Brookeville bypass wasn't needed

[Anonymous]

Brookeville is a quaint spot along the road but I won't miss the tight turns and curves.

Now the town and the creek is not at risk for flooding, and the historic town can be persevered, and safe from idiots going 50+ through 90 degree turns.

Could the flooding have been fixed without constructing the bypass?

Does anyone know when the Brookeville bypass will be completed? It’s still under construction.

But it is complete

I still maintain this wasn't needed and the fact its a one lane road and not two in each direction with interchanges is a travesty.

No, it’s not. There’s part that is unfinished and the road looks like it’s waiting for another coat of asphalt.

Complete and total waste of money spearheaded by a former state legislator who wanted to make it easier to back out of her driveway onto Georgia Ave.

There is a short leg of Brookeville road that is still closed. You can also see it on street view in Google maps. When will it be complete? Will it be paved again because it seems like they are waiting for another coat.

Why aren't we building a bypass around Washington DC, yet we can build this useless crap around a village

Says who?

I live in Brookeville btw. It's a pretty small town and people talk.

Regardless, the bypass ripped through woodland to avoid roughly a dozen houses owned by people who knew what they were getting into when they bought their homes on Georgia Ave. Making the case that it was all of a sudden too busy in the small town was a bit much. It isn't a town; it's a dozen+ houses. We rerouted traffic for the benefit of a ridiculously small amount of people. Why? The speed limit is very low and traffic is controlled by a stop sign at the only intersection. What was the issue? Big trucks? Guess what? There are steps that could have been taken to ban tractor trailers on a portion of the road. They could have opted to reroute big trucks. Instead they opted to reroute all traffic...and that begs the question, "Why?"

Because a former state legislator wanted to back out of her driveway on Georgia Ave.

Many millions of dollars later, we have a completely unnecessary major road cut through woodland. The impact on the local community center and adjacent field is a tragedy. BTW, why does the community center have such limited hours and limited activities? Ridiculous.
