Dear Senator Edward R. Houck,
We are signing this petition to respectfully request having two dirt/gravel roads paved in Lignum, Virginia located in Culpeper County. These two roads are Route 681 (Jacobs Ford Road) and Route 751 (Dragoon Road). The issue of having these two roads paved has been on the table with VDOT for over 16 years. We have attended multiple meetings and once offered $100,000 to VDOT to help fund the paving of the roads.
VDOT has acknowledged that these roads are the heaviest traveled dirt roads in Culpeper County. There are 26 homes, 180 employees, 7 public school transportation vehicles, services provided to 42 counties (23) VA, (19) WV, (1)DC, (1) State Department and over 100 volunteers that travel the two roads on a daily basis.
The two roads are a safety issue to the users. The gravel creates flat tires. The rippled washboard roads create excessive wear and repair for brakes, tires, windshield wiper blades and suspension. The daily dust requires constant cleaning of rear tail light, brake and turn signal lenses to be visible to other drivers on the main road and preventing rear end accidents.
We are confident you will help provide a solution to expedite the paving the these two roads.
Respectfully,

I have been compiling the list of daily users to present to VDOT again. Send an email to your local representative today and demand they prioritize these repairs. Your persistence forces them to acknowledge the danger of these roads.

The momentum behind this push proves that our community is tired of the dangerous conditions on these roads. Send an email to the office of Senator Houck today and demand that he finally address this sixteen year delay.

My car suspension is ruined from driving on that gravel every day. It is dangerous and dusty. Fix it.
enough delays. people live here. people work here. pave the roads.
RIDICULOUS that they took money and still havent done the work. do better VDOT
Lived in culpeper my whole life and those roads have always been trash. paving them is basic common sense.
16 years is way too long to wait. get it done already.
