| | | Clayton | Cochran | Kensington | Maryland | 20895 | Proposed New Bridge for the Potomac River | No file uploaded. |
Text Area: I am writing as former Conservation Chair of the Potomac Chapter of the Appalachian Mountain Club, a current volunteer Trail Ranger for Montgomery County, and a volunteer with the Audubon Naturalist Society, and a nearly 50-year resident of Montgomery County.
The LAST thing that Montgomery County needs is to again bridge the Potomac River. Catering to the business interests of Virginians (who have turned over their countryside to massive road systems and dreadful sprawl), and to a few parochial Mont. Co. business interests will do great damage to the general public.
We depend on good water from the Potomac. The massive traffic that will indundate our county via a new bridge will forever change the character of our area.
Please do not allow this monstrosity to proceed and think of people, not special interests.
Thank you, Clayton E. Cochran |
| Other Regional Transportation Issue | | Paula | Whitfield | Silver Spring | Maryland | 20910 | strongly against outer beltway bridge. | No file uploaded. |
Text Area: I am strongly, vehemently opposed to the propose beltway bridge. Not only would it put our drinking water supply in danger it would continue to fragment and destroy habitat even more than it already has been in this area.. enough is enough.. NO to this bridge!
Thank you, Paula |

Text Area: Please, no outer Beltway! Protect our region’s drinking supply and water quality and do the right thing! Long-term solutions to traffic issues should never compromise public safety and the safety of our natural resources. Thank you. |

Text Area: Please do not even consider building this bridge. It could seriously imperil the DC area drinking water supply in the event of a toxic spill. As we have learned to our cost, such accidents are all but inevitable. Do not gamble with our community’s health and safety! |

Text Area: Once again a new Potomac bridge crossing is being evaluated, and once again the studies show as they always do what a bad idea this is in so many different ways from air and water quality to increased traffic congestion and volume. Please remove this study from your list of projects for the future and focus on the ones that show they have the merit to be implemented, mass transit, land use and fixing existing roadways and bridges that are in poor shape and outdated. |

Text Area: Absolutely essential improvement project BUT it should not stop at VA 294 – this improvement needs to continue to VA 234 which will make a much more meaningful impact.
If at all possible – this needs to happen sooner than 2025. Ideally, the extension to VA294 would be completed by 2020 with further extension to VA 234 by 2022. |

Text Area: Is there any consideration in the plan for Metro down/up I 95 ILO HOV lanes?. I feel that by relying on Metro to/from Fredericksburg vice HOV we will be taking vehicles off of this congested avenue. |
