FACTS
• Solid commmunity resistance can stop the dual laning of 211 between Washington, Va. & Sperryville. • Safety hazards on the present road can be eliminated without duallaning (widen shoulders, add turnoff lanes, improve visibility). • The Department of Transportation has said several times in recent months they will consider a Sperryville by-pass next. • Bigger roads lead to more and faster traffic. (Do you want cars going 6570 mph past your children's schools?) • More residential development in this county means higher taxes? • Dual lanes will cost a minimum of $13.4 million, of which $10.6 million will be federal money. (Is this highway a national priority?) • In the 19 th century, Rappahannock fought successfully to keep out the railroads. Let's live up to this fine tradition and keep this county rural! • A minimum of 72 acres of farmland will be lost forever.
