48 <br />January 16, 1991 <br />Mr. Moses Carey, Chairman <br />Orange County Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Carey, <br />I am writing to you because of my concern about the <br />proposed widening of Highway 54 West. My husband and I own <br />a home in the Dodson's Crossroads area of Orange County, and <br />I travel Highway 54 daily. I do not find the traffic on 54 <br />so heavy as to warrant further development of that highway. <br />The only time traffic is a real concern in the area is <br />before and after major sports or entertainment events in <br />Chapel Hill. With Interstates 85 and 40 nearby and the <br />limited need, I do not see how the economic, ecological, or <br />personal human costs can be justified. I urge you to vote <br />against the widening of this highway. <br />In addition, I want to thank you for continuing to <br />recognize the concerns of citizens against the proposed <br />Orange County airport. <br />Thank you for your attention in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lydia A.Aydlett, Ph.D. <br />
