To Governor Josh Stein, Senate Pro Tempore Phil Berger, Senator Bobby Hanig, Representative Edward C. Goodwin, the North Carolina Turnpike Authority, NCDOT, North Carolina Board of Transportation, the Albemarle Regional Planning Organization and the Currituck County Commissioners:
We the undersigned, strongly oppose the building of the Mid-Currituck Bridge. We seek to preserve the unique experience of the northern outer banks without the over development and environmental damage this bridge will bring. It will destroy the tranquil setting of Aydlett, N.C., create traffic backups where there are none now, It will also create more choke points on the Outer Banks and mainland, as well as only adding to the problem of traffic on the Northern Outer Banks. We believe other options for the summertime traffic issues are not getting due attention. This PROPOSED bridge will force long time residents from their homes through the use of Eminent Domain.
It is respectfully requested that other options are pursued.

The North Carolina Turnpike Authority continues to ignore the devastation this bridge will bring to Aydlett and our coastal communities. I am currently digging into the public documents they are trying to hide because they know this project is a disaster for anyone who actually lives here.

The massive surge in support proves that we will not sit back while the Turnpike Authority bulldozes our homes and destroys our environment for a bridge nobody wants. These bureaucrats and politicians are finally realizing that they cannot force this project on us without a fight. This momentum is just the beginning of holding them accountable for their reckless plans.

We just hit 100 signatures and the message to the North Carolina Turnpike Authority is becoming impossible to ignore. These bureaucrats want to bulldoze our homes for a useless bridge but they clearly underestimated how many of us are ready to fight back.

The ponies have been there longer than the people pushing this sooo unwanted or needed bridge! That and the longtime residents faced with losing their homes via Eminent Domain is unforgivable!! A clear case of money talks and the rest of us are left to deal with it.
The reality is the proposed Bridge is not needed. The Bridge will benefit few, harm more, and change the Sound and County forever--for the worse. Our waterfowling heritage will become 'virtual duck hunting', and seafood will come form Southeast Asia. The Politicians have lost pragmatism.
We spend summers on the 4x4 beach and would happily drive the extra distance versus having a bridge across the sound. I think serious consideration should be given to staggering check in days for rentals, as this is the biggest cause of traffic backups
We have better things to do with our money than build a $600 millon bridge that will get traffic 10 weekends per year - this says nothing of the environmental imact and the significant way it will change that charm and carchter of the Northern Outer Banks where I live 12months of the year.
I live in kdh and work in corolla. The additional influx of more people without a road to support them would guarantee trouble. The two lane road from duck north cannot support that!
I can promise you all of the outer banks stakeholders do not want this. Please don’t do this.
Please, do not build this bridge. I like the way of life of the northern beaches. This will detract and become more like Myrtle Beach and Jersey Shore.

With critical housing shortage, why force people out of their homes? Ocean claiming house by house not too far from Aydlett in Rodanthe, why spend 1 billion dollars on a bridge that will be used just about 15 weekends out of year?
