The Sperryville Community Group hosted a meeting at the Fire Hall so two representatives of " the Highway Department could hear What Sperryville residents had to say. The Department has proposed three plans for Routes 211 and 522 around Sperryville.
There are two different possible bypass routes south of town and one that would be north of Sperryville. Another proposal is not to build a bypass around the town, but to “improve” the existing Route 211 through Sperryville.
Pete Luke read a statement on behalf of the Sperryville Community Group that advocated “widening a few curves, building up die shoulders, and reducing the speed limit.” Luke emphasized that the group he spoke for did not want a huge, four-lane road with curb and gutters through the town.
