[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are no businesses there to kill, that rely on drive thru traffic. It's like you all never drive through there. I do, and the bypass will really help safety in the little town, and help avoid the flooding of the stream that always occurs when there is a downpour there and prevent more water rescues.

It is not old growth forest, as most of the land was farmed at one time, and the trees can be replanted. [/quote]

I just feel the traffic levels didn't warrant a bypass. Again, that money could have been better spent elsewhere on MOCO roads like over in Poolesville.[/quote]

I’m the no fan poster from above. I fully admit that I don’t possess a deep knowledge and understanding of traffic and traffic patterns. But I can’t help to feel that The amount of trees and destruction of forest land that occurred for a road is unwarranted. Not only is it a big long wide pit, but construction has lasted a very long time. Currently it is a two lane road (One southbound, one northbound) and what they’re constructing looks much wider than that. It will simply create a bottleneck for up the road if that is the case.  They have sound barrier walls up and there are still still a lot of work that needs to be done. I can’t help to think that this has been a pet project that has been pushed through and helped along because one of the ex- delegates  lives on that street and I can’t help but feel that she just didn’t want traffic in her front lawn.

They've been talking about this project for over 20 years.

Groundbreaking was in September 2018, construction is supposed to be complete by this summer (i.e., summer 2021), how fast do you think road construction happens?[/quote]

Three years for about a mile seems excessively long.[/quote]

Compared to what?[/quote]
