I had the pleasure of voting early and proudly presenting my ID to vote. Before going in I was also able to meet many of the candidates for commissioner, and ask them questions. I made reference to there much sounding alike statements made to the interview question in Cornelius Today article. Specifically that most candidates are generally promoting this nebulous proposal for an “Exit 27”. My question for the candidates and Cornelius Today is exactly what are the potential plans for an exit 27? How does it decompress traffic from exits 25&28 when Westmoreland Road is already too busy as 2 lane road? Are plans to widen the whole way between Catawba and 21, which then dump into congested intersections of yet more 2 line roadways? Where and how would the in/off ramps be designed (hopefully not like Hambright road only accessible through the toll lane!). Furthermore the 77 corridor already bottlenecks at exits 28, 25, and 485 mergers, exit 28 would only add another bottleneck.
Some of the candidates referred to Atrium paying for some of the cost. Atrium should covert there current campus at exit 25 to hospital instead of tearing down more trees (oops too late), or widen 21 from 21 north to the new campus and allow emergency vehicles to jam the traffic signals snd make a left going north.
Cornelius Today and commissioners, please give us more concrete answers and solutions other than all sounding same! I think at least 95% of citizens are supportive of emergency workers, parks/rec, fiscal conservatism, common sense solutions, yadda yadda yadda……we all want clean air and water as well as these are given necessities.
One thing everyone agreed on was that, thanks to the previous derp state somewhere in Raleigh, there is no solution in sight to the actual biggest intervention that would improve traffic on 77, which would be to only have a single toll lane, and 3 general use lanes instead of as Chuck Woolery would say, “2&2”.
I sincerely do appreciate that the candidates did make themselves available for questions, and were all genuinely compassionate about their candidacies. I think continued such dialogues and our mutual role as citizens in local politics is vital!
