On February 4, 2018 the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing regarding an amendment to the County’s Transportation Plan which would allow Route 15 to be expanded from a two lane road to a four lane road up to Montresor Road. Many speakers took the time to make their opinions known to the Board of Supervisors. Although a large majority of those present were in favor of the motion, which was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors, the most memorable moment of the night was during the Board comments, when Chairperson Randall took the unusual step of admonishing a speaker for her crass dismissal of the need for safety improvements on 15 by stating “people die on roads….driving is a dangerous business”.
This speaker truly believes that Route 15 is fine the way it is and nothing substantial should be done to fix the safety and congestion issues that we all face on a daily basis.
