DIS I'HIQU ) -ED <br />05 January 1990 <br />The Honorable Moses Carey, <br />and other Grange County Commissioners <br />P. U. Box 8101 <br />Hillsborough NC 27278 <br />Your Honorable Commissioners, <br />J 55 <br />li v�J <br />Six years ago I purchased a home off NC Highway 54, five <br />miles past Carrboro, to enjoy living in the country without <br />forfeiting a quick daily drive into Chapel Hill. I was therefore <br />startled to hear that you are considering widening the highway- - <br />at the cost of urban sprawl, increased water, air, and noise <br />pollution, and increased traffic, for the four lanes will <br />needlessly attract trucks away from NC 85. These trucks will <br />lead, of course, to further congestion along the 54/15 -501 <br />bypass! 2ecause I rarely encounter a lineup of cars (only on <br />gems -days at UNC' or a slow- moving vehicle in the 'stretch being <br />considered for widening, I cannot comprehend how you can <br />rationalize the various costs of empansion. <br />Thank you for taking into consideration the concerns of the <br />residents involved in-this decision. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dr. Alice Kuznia,- <br />9711 Leslie Drive <br />Chapel Hill NC 2751( <br />
