The project planners have officially dropped the alignment we fought against. This victory belongs entirely to the people who spoke up for their community and land. I am just honored that so many of you trusted me to lead this effort.

We, the undersigned, oppose the proposed preferred alternative of the Route 460 project which includes a northern bypass around the Town of Windsor because the preferred alternative does not serve the purpose of a safe evacuation route through areas that historically flood between Ivor and Wakefield; the proposed alternative does not coincide with past, present, and future local comprehensive planning for long-term economic development; the proposed alternative vitiates the alleged purpose of protecting the wetlands and watersheds including the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement and the Clean Water Act due to the adverse effects of a long bridge on the proposed route crossing a broad portion of Lake Prince which supplies a significant amount of the drinking water supply for cities in Hampton Roads; and the wetlands study of proposed alternatives (SEIS) was flawed because it did not contain representations of the full range of the best possible alternatives, as required.

I am totally against this project. An astronomically expensive, relatively short piece of road that only bypasses Windsor will do nothing to help alleviate traffic problems. This project will be detrimental to the livelihood of our great Town. Enough money has been spent already! Make some upgrades to the existing road, but kill this idiotic project!

This is the most poorly designed road I have ever seen or heard of. While we have many accidents and the road definitely needs to be improved, this design will only add to the problem. By the way, where is the hotel in Zuni to house everyone when a hurricane/disaster strikes and they can/t get beyond that point?

Please pass the word about this petition. The State of Virginia has already wasted $482 million dollars studying this project. Building a road through swamp and confiscating peoples property will not solve anything. The State is just trying to save face at this point because of the money they have wasted and have nothing to show for it.

this plan is destructive and will not solve the problem.It will only make it worse.The route goes through swamp and unstable land as well as much needed farm land.It's not a sound decision.

Bypass north of Rt. 460 when the Intermodal warehouses and railroad are located to the south??- makes no sense whatsoever!
