[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the area and I disagree entirely with you OP.  It is needed.  It is a safety issue for residents.

The road in Brookeville is narrow, [b]and people use it as a thru-way[/b], attempting to go 50 MPH.  If you do not live there, your opinion matters little.   It's a historic town and we should take the proper steps to ensure the safety of the town and its residents. [/quote]

GA avenue or Market/Brighton Dam?  Nothing will change for Market/Brighton Dam but I agree with you about speeding cars on that stretch of the road.[/quote]

Well they use both as thru ways, but Georgia avenue is narrow, and because the town is historic, it cannot be widened.  People own right up to the road, and in some instances part of the road.

[b]Similar to 108 through the town of Laytonsville (actual town limits).  It will never be widened. Speed limit is 30, it's next to a school, people walk every day, school buses stop to let kids off...and yet, county residents (and large trucks) think they can go 50+ through a tiny town.   This is why bypasses are needed.  I recognize the need for commuters to get to their locations, but their time does not negate the safety of the people who call these historic towns home.[/b][/quote]

I am supportive of the bypass, and if OP actually drove this part of road they would know that the bypass is well under construction already and they are going at a good pace.

I'll be happy not to worry about rounding that sharp turn too quickly, or taking my chances with flooding. Know the people who live in historic Brookeville will breathe a sigh of relief after all the commuters stop speeding through. [/quote]
