Name: Terry Ponder on Feb 19, 2010Comments: Historically, the tolls on these things go up dramatically over the years. Plus, it is an eyesore and creates noise in the neighborhoods. Someone is on the take here. This plan does not make sense. There are better plans out there but they don't want them as some people are benefitting financially under the table now and in the future.Flag

Name: Philippa Straus on Feb 21, 2010Comments: We do not want an elevated roadway anywhere near our residential areas. We believe the environmental impact studies the state is NOT doing would clearly show this to be an ill conceived and environmentally damaging project. We do not want our dwindling state tax dollars wasted on planning for and construction of a toll road that we do not want. What a great deal: they use our tax dollars to plan it and then ask us to spend our after-tax dollars to drive on it. Only in Alabama. And by the way, what happens when all ten lanes funnel into three at the cut-through Red Mountain to get into downtown? Think ship-in-a-bottle. All those cars on all those lanes; basically slowed to a crawl each and every morning as they must all merge (think highway construction projects... only permanent) into three. We do not want this ill conceived and hastily proposed disaster of a roadway.Flag

Name: G. Pickens on Feb 21, 2010Comments: As a downtown business owner and 280 neighbor I am glad to see the "Rethink 280"/Kulash plan! My family sacrificed -paying too much- for less house, to be closer to our business, which employees numerous folks. In fact... almost ALL my neighbors are ALSO local business owners. Like them, we CAN move our business, with us, to a new community, if our current community is destroyed, as super highways are notorious for doing to neighborhoods. In other words... running off business owners, means running off businesses. Who would that benefit? Commuters, keep this in mind when you scream; "just do anything, and do it now!" Will we someday lament; "Yes... there used to be nice old historic neighborhoods close to a working downtown business area... but now... sadly, both are ruined."? Better to think about it ALL now, than to regret ALL later!Flag

Name: Richard D Glasgow on Feb 21, 2010Comments: A resident of Mountain Brook and former resident of Homewood, I travel seven miles each way on U.S.280 between home and work. I am strongly opposed to the current ALDOT expansion plan, and strongly favor a version anticipating increased mass transit, both bus and eventually light rail.Flag

Name: Thomas G Lamkin on Feb 22, 2010Comments: I have thought for years that ReThik280's idea is the way 280 should have been done in the first place. it is still not too late to do it right. Overpasses and under passes as at Pumphouse Road, Hollywood Blvd, Shades Creek Parkway are already in place. Look at the cloverleaf in Homewood. If not for the traffic light at the Shell Station it is still functioning well after 70 years despite much higher traffic counts. Add some frontage road and a few bridges and 280 would be great to Alex City! (And probably for less than an elevated toll road from 459 to Oak Mountain. Think Big folks!Flag

Name: Elna Brendel on Feb 22, 2010Comments: Please look at the alternate plan for fixing Highway 280. An elevated highway is not the answer for the surrounding communities or for my drinking water. I am very much against an elevated highway. Like many of the highways in Alabama, an elevated one will not solve the problem in the long term. Thank you!Flag

Name: Grant R. Haines on Feb 22, 2010Comments: My family vehemently opposes ALDOTs 280 Expansion Project. Residents of Homewood and surrounding local communities considered its long developed beauty, air and water quality, proximity to Downtown Birmingham, and its local commerce and industry when making the cost/benefit decision to pay the premium often required in these historic areas. ALDOTs 280 project will greatly diminish each of these attributes for those who also made conscious decisions to purchase larger, newer homes in outlying communities. Less intrusive and costly alternatives MUST be considered.Flag

Name: Richard Bares on Feb 22, 2010Comments: Rethink 280 is a must. Why would anyone, in this economic climate, spend an extra $400 million for a solution that is not what the majority of the people want. this is a perfect example of big business (concrete companies, asphalt companies, engineering companies) driving for a solution for their own benefit. We need to stop them. Thanks for organizing this grass roots effort.Flag
