Yep.

This anti Brookville bypass troll isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.


They're also the interchange troll as well

It's not an interstate it's a 2 lane highway south of this to Olney and a two lane road north of this all the way to Carroll county. Putting in interchanges would wipe out half the town it was meant to bypass.


Not true at all, you don't know civil engineering and it shows, Larla. You can build a folded diamond interchange and bridges compact enough to where it provides limited access to the bypass.

Olney is unincorporated. Brookeville is a town.

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.


This is a rumor and not true at all


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.


Feel free to join your local government.

Love the bypass. It's great for local residents.

Could careless if it bother commuters or random people in the county. Brookeville is a great, historical town that deserves preservation.

If by "village" you mean a dozen or so houses, okay.

It's not a village. No businesses (beyond Silo Falls). A smattering of houses and a church.
