I very pleased the new board of supervisors are giving the bypass a new, hopefully fresh look.
It seems to make little if any sense to go forward. Yes, let us improve traffic flow and safety and accommodate people who may wish to cross the street or bike across or along 29N AND save hundreds of millions of dollars at the same time! Thank you!
