I've been exiting exit 160 for 8 years now at <br /> rush hour. I've never experienced any"dangerous weaving"(referred to by <br /> NCDOT in the 13 page proposal posted on the Orange County <br /> Commissioner's site about Buckhorn).This is wrong.We will vote <br /> accordingly. I am going to get the names of the county commissioners <br /> involved and vote accordingly this November.Many of us will write our state <br /> house rep.and State Senator and the NCDOT.We will watch the County <br /> Commissioners who vote"yes"on the rezoning of this area from Office/ <br /> Research and Manufacturing(O/RM)to Master Plan Development <br /> Conditional Zoning(MPD-CZ),and" <br /> Robin Carden Efland,NC 2020-10-22 "1 am a life long resident of Efland,NC and one think I absolutely adore <br /> about my little town is the fact that it is still the same little town that I <br /> grew up in.There are no huge retail developments or chain grocery <br /> stores.There are little businesses with local customers.This is what <br /> makes Efland special and unique. Please keep it that way.There are <br /> gas stations,truck stops,and hotels within two exits of our little exit 160 <br /> and that's as close as I'd like them to be." <br /> Corrina Carter Hillsborough, NC 2020-10-22 "I'm signing because of traffic concerns,watershed concerns,and air and <br /> noise pollution concerns.They will not allow new restaurants in Orange <br /> County,but they are considering this?" <br /> Rhonda Melton Mebane,NC 2020-10-22 "This is not the place for such a large gas station.Leave our rural <br /> area-RURAL" <br /> Beth Shulman Hillsborough, NC 2020-10-22 "There is NO NEED for this. NO ONE benefits except the owners of the <br /> company.A disgusting use of land." <br /> Sonia Padial Mebane,NC 2020-10-22 "This is an unnecessary addition to our communities,especially Efland. <br /> A whole lot of development is going in the communities in this area <br /> without stakeholder input about how it will affect our towns,or quality of <br /> life. Efland doesn't need this." <br /> Lynn Pinnell Durham,NC 2020-10-23 "I'm signing because government needs to listen to the citizens! I support <br /> this petition for ALL of the reasons stated by the author." <br /> April Crowley Mebane,NC 2020-10-24 "1 feel if this is build at that location it will cause terrible traffic <br /> problems. I travel that way for work each day." <br /> Mimi Logothetis Cedar Grove, NC 2020-10-28 "This will not stand.Stop this wasteful and polluting wasteland from <br /> destroying this small town." <br /> John Beerman Hillsborough, NC 2020-10-28 "Way too big a commercial project for rural Efland." <br /> Victoria Reynolds Hillsborough, NC 2020-10-28 "We live in West Hillsborough and would be directly affected by the massive <br /> increase in traffic,the noise,the lights,the pollution.We also bike and hike <br /> in the areas around of Mt.Willing Rd.To lose that beautiful land would be a <br /> huge loss." <br />
