on-going study of the U.S. 29 corridor from Warrenton to Charlottesville.
He said four options are being considered from continuing to make spot improvements and widen sections of the road as crowding becomes a greater problem to creating a four-lane limited access freeway for the entire length of the road, with one of two service lanes beside the freeway. Opposition to the freeway concept is increasing, especially in Madison County, he said.
One of the alternatives being considered would place responsibility for seeing that development does not slow traffic on the road with the planning districts, Mr. McCarthy said. This alternative called “modified land use” would leave more power over decisions with local jurisdictions.
Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said, “I like the idea of improving 29. It takes the pressure off us.”
Mr. McCarthy also showed the planners information provided at a planning meeting he attended on patterns of growth from central cities out. He said that all major metropolitan areas had followed this pattern. “From San Diego to Boston, this is the pattern of American development since World War II,” Mr. McCarthy said.
Portions of the study show an area like Rappahannock County clearly in what is called the “5th generation industrial metro core” where second homes are converted to primary housing for executives and occasionally “High Quality of Life Towns” are converted into office locations.
