1 ne nearing documents state under “Location and Design” “The existing pavement width is-approximately 6.1 meters (20 feet)” I would like to know, outside of the intersection with 522 and a very short distance from it anti the new bridge deck at the other end otj the project, where is this 20 foot pave-; ment? Longitudinally perhaps? Most;’ of the distance of the project is characterized by a “travel surface” not pavement, of considerably less than 20 feet, as is normal in a 30-foot right of way. Why are we proposing two eleven-foot lanes, two five-foot shoulders and two] six-foot ditches?
If it was necessary to design for higher speeds and a straighter roadway, why was the bridge over Hittles Mill Stream at the western terminus of the project just replaced while maintaining its 90 degree approach turnt Where the elevation of Route 63(fc exists below the elevation of Ilittles" Mill Stream, that roadway sectioiS needs to be elevated. That is not.tlfc case for .7 miles.
Yes, Route 630 needs improve ments. No, it does not need thes£ “improvements.”
Let us not promote by-passes and' faster roadways. Rather let us encouri' age road users through appropriate design of the facilities to drive.slowttf and safer, see more of the beauty, ang. stop more often to enjoy our hos0i$£; ity and services.
