The letter
below was used as an automatic email letter that
was sent to Mr.
Earl Robb, VDOT State Environmental Administrator
and Mr. Fred Altizer, VDOT Salem District Manager
as comments on the I-73 DEIS (Roanoke, VA - NC
border segment).
THANKS TO
ALL THAT SENT EMAILS OR MAILED COMMENTS ON THE
I-73 DEIS.Comment Deadline was
January 12, 2001.
Dear Mr. Earl Robb:
These are my comments concerning the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for I-73.
I am opposed to all new-terrain options for
I-73. These include:
Option 1 & 1a: Eastern Corridor
Option 2, 2a, 2b & 2c: I-581 to Windy
Gap Mountain
Option 3, 3a, 3b & 3c: Make I-581 and
U.S. 220 an interstate
Option 4: Western Corridor |
I am opposed to all of the 11
corridors studied for a new-terrain highway
because of their significant impact on the human
environment and their tremendous cost to the
taxpayers.
I am in favor of the Transportation Systems
Mananagement option, which would upgrade U.S. 220
for millions rather than billions of dollars.
This would result in a safer road in a fraction
of the time.
Please include these with the official
comments for the I-73 DEIS. I reserve the right
to submit further comments at a later date.
Sincerely,
cc: Fred Altizer, VDOT Salem District Manager
