I am not pleased with the new parking pattern on Mason. I could not see how to get around a pickup truck that was parked next to me. I think it is very dangerous.

[On a somewhat related subject], why has VDOT failed to post signs on Route 13 saying USE LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY.

When the purveyors of the rezoning proposal get their way, count on more traffic lights on rt. 13, more accidents, slower traffic, and the need to build a limited access thoroughfare. As an added bonus we’ll get chicken farms out the wazoo, sprawling PUD communities, waste incinerators, polluted creeks, crashing aquaculture and a much simpler ordinance to make life for developers way easier. Thanks, Bill Parr!

I agree with Ms. Campbell. I visit The Shore two or three times a year as a tourist and this interstate highway type interchange would just remind me of what I come over there to escape. This belongs on the south end of the bridge tunnel along with the beach stacked with houses. Could the chicken factory guys be behind this proposal? I guess every second of transporting those nuggets is big bucks to them.

I know there have been very bad accidents at this location. But maybe there are less visually intrusive and less expensive ways to address it. Mr. Meyers’ idea for an exit /entrance at the north end of the Food Lion parking lot sounds worth examining. I use the crossover but maybe it must be closed as he suggests. Or VDOT could post the crossover as not for vehicles towing trailers? That could be a revenue generator for the local police too. Say, a hundred bucks per crossing.

I agree completely with RH Meyers!

I stand corrected, Mr. Fox.
It seems that Virginia looooong ago ceded power to the solons in Richmond.
How sad that y’all have to stand hat in hand and beg for road work to be done all while NOVA gets whatever they want.
For all everyone picks on Jersey, at least local municipalities can plot their own future.

Phil Goetkin, what you speak of has already happened (repairing existing) and is currently happening (new walking trail)

Apparently VDOT had their spectacles on upside down.

VDOT should install a traffic signal at the Food Lion entrance.

If the state of Virginia has this much money to put into a Cape Charles transportation project, I would rather see it reallocated into a town sidewalk plan. With the same amount of financing, the Town could implement a comprehensive sidewalk plan. Cape Charles could make itself a model “walkable town”. Needed repairs could be made; new sidewalks could be installed where they are absent.
