Finally, some truth about the concerns of the PWC citizens that live along historical Purcell Road that rambles with the stream it follows from Rte. 234 to Hoadly. While the residents were sleeping in their beds, turmoil was at hand with two developers at opposite ends of Purcell Road trying to seal the fate of Purcell to one of a hostile, sterile, toxic 4 lane cut through an established community threatening our watershed and aquafir just to expedite traffic that doesn't exist. Did the coffers offered to the DOT by the Developers for Buena Vista and Hunters Grove cause VDOT and the Comprehensive Plan designers to overlook the environmental ramifications? The impervious surface assault to our environment as well as the devisive State Highway slicing through our neighborhood where generations have lived for over 200 years has more to consider than traffic growth. <br /><br />I wonder if Elizabeth Ward would consider coming to the next public meeting (Dec. 5) to speak during the "Citizen" time period to present the importance of respecting the green crescent and our water supply as well as quality of life for more than the residents but for those also served by the sensitive aquafir. A road can be built most anywhere but a healthy watershed is a one time work of art. Elizabeth Hardy picassa317@gmail.comLibzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345600883818464824noreply@blogger.com
