Name: Courtney Mason on Feb 26, 2010Comments: I own two retail food service businesses along Highway 280 in the eastern section of Highway 280. I am convinced the elevated roadway will cause a severe financial loss of business. I have my life savings invested in these stores. I regret not paying more attention to the specifics as to how this roadway was being proposed. I wrongly assumed that the plan put forward by the State would be the best alternative possible.. Clearly an express road is needed but not an elevated road where the business and redisential areas will suffer.Flag

Name: Chris J. Peterson on Feb 26, 2010Comments: I am opposed to the ALDOT $800 Million dollar plan to build elevated toll roads on hwy 280. As a 32 year resident of the Hollywood Section of Homewood I believe there are less expensive solutions as represented by Rethink 280 that will solve the traffic problems on Hwy 280.Flag

Name: Jeff Brown on Mar 5, 2010Comments: I find the notion of this project running less than a quarter mile from my house as it passes through Vestavia beyond disheartening. This is truly a transfer of wealth to Shelby county. Gov. Riley again disappoints with his actions.Flag

Name: Ann Lyn De Germiny on Mar 7, 2010Comments: There must be very powerful money interests that are trying to get this rammed through. Surely there are less damaging and less expensive solutions for helping present Shelby county residents/ employees go to and from home and work.. For this entire area I see no reason why we should try to accommodate huge new potential developments to the south with the destruction of everything else along the way. I live in Hollywood a couple of blocks from this potential horror. Over the many years I've lived here, our residential area has suffered from considerable encroachment: widening of Shades Creek Pkwy, the construction of Brookwood Village, Office Park, and 280. I understand that some progress is important, but this project goes over the top in the havoc it will wreak.Flag

Name: Mary Paxton Lee on Mar 7, 2010Comments: You should know that not everyone in Shelby County is for this monstrosity. I live in a rural area north of 280 and Chelsea. This problem was created by Shelby County and its lack of controlling development....which is still out of control. Construction companies, etc. have bullied and powered themselves into our communities (planning commission) with building projects beyond what the infrastructure can tolerate. It can only be imagined what this concrete monolith will look like in 10 years.....carbon buildup, graffiti.... Besides, can you imagine driving 280 with sunroof open and never seeing the sky? Since Shelby County created this with its inaction, let Shelby County live with it. I know many other Shelby Countians who are vehemently against this project. I am sorry that our voices have been drowned by the other pro group from Shelby County.Flag

Name: Andy Tillery on Mar 10, 2010Comments: I actually live on 280, outside of the 459 loop, and I do not want to see that concrete eyesore be put up and block what I believe to be a very beautiful part of Birmingham. I moved to that area when I came back to Birmingham because of its aesthetics. Now Gov. Riley and the DOT are planning to destroy the reason I moved to that area, not to mention my property value and appeal for future buyers. In addition to living there, I actually commute 280 into downtown Birmingham every day and while it has its moments, overall it is not that bad. For anyone who thinks otherwise, go live in Atlanta for a while and see what all of their expanded roadways gets you. Another key aspect of living in that area is close proximity to restaurants and local businesses, all of which will suffer when faced with limited visiblity due to elevated structures and limited entrance/exit opportunities for the impulse buyer. And then additional traffice will be created for the local residents who will have to drive further for everyday business. Overall I see the DOT plan as a completely wrong choice for the area. The Kulash plan and Rethink 280 approach is much more sensible. I'm still trying to figure out why the Governor is pushing this so hard without doing the environmental and economical impact studies and without the weigh in of the people that live there. After all, he doesn't have to drive it. Why are the surveyors already hard at work? What is his incentive for pushing that plan through? Bottom line is that the people who live along the affected area should have the right to decide on the overall plan and how their communities are affected.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Mar 11, 2010Comments: As a resident living along Highway 280, I fear that the proposed raised highway will diminish the value of my home and surrounding property. There are so many other options to deal with the congestion on Highway 280 and I would think that our government would be willing to look into some of these options. It seems like they have no concern for the people that it is actually affecting. If this was their neighborhood and their community, they would never agree to build such a ridiculous eyesore.Flag

Name: Katherine Shepherd on Mar 11, 2010Comments: If this elevated highway is the best solution for U.S.280 then Linda Figg and ALDOT should not worry about the next governor and the next head of ALDOT going forward with the project. This is their true motivation for rushing this project and Linda Figg needs a contract by January. Wake up everyone so we can stop this mess before it is too late!Flag

Name: Jim Pace on Mar 12, 2010Comments: As both a business owner and a homeowner on the 280 corridor, I resent the idea that ALDOT is playing with the value of my residence and the future of my business. It appears that there is a political "fix" at play and that logic and reason have no place in this decision. Stop the elevated toll road now, before we become an eye sore like so many other similar projects.Flag

Name: Janice Clifton-Moore on Mar 12, 2010Comments: I think the Rethink280 plan is a much better plan than the ALDOT plan for two reason. #1 the cost is much less, and #2 It could hlep solve the congestion problem on 280 without adding an elevated road. That, in my opinion, is a bad idea from the start. I have lived in Chelsea since 1957, have seen the growth and expansion, and personally, have no intention of EVER using an elevated highway. I should not have to PAY to drive to work, to shop, etc. I will simply start taking my business to Alabaster via County Road 11 or to Pell City, Childersburg and Sylacauga. No toll roads for longtime residents!Flag
