Bypass Routing At Issue
Here is the link to the NCDOT site where the bypass is discussed for US1. It's in the "Long Term Projects" section of the site. http://www.ncdot.gov/projects/moorechoices/ There are a bunch of pdf files which I could not download, but I don't know why. There are also a handful of videos discussing the "problem:" congestion. I find it very interesting that every single shot of traffic flowing through the county shows, at the worst, light congestion.
I appreciate the fact that the DOT is allowing us to be a part of the solution, but thus far, I do not see the problem. I honestly hope that in the upcoming meetings we will see studies and reports with detailed data outlining the problem. As far as I'm concerned, the burden of proof is on the DOT to prove to us that we're headed for disaster with our current roads and traffic patterns.
