CTB sets agenda for May 15, 2013 meeting

The CTB has published an agenda for their meeting on May 15, 2013 in Richmond.  There are two items of importance to GTCA and those who oppose the North South Corridor (Tri-County Parkway).   CTB will release the draft of the 6 year traffic improvement plan for fiscal years 2014 through 2019. The board then will hold public hearings:

May 28 in Richmond            May 29 in Fairfax           June 4 in Roanoke                June 5 in Chesapeake.

The CTB is also gearing up to approve the final version of the North South Corridor Master Plan.

See the full agenda here:       CTB Agenda 5-15-13

The justification for the CTB’s action is contained in this document.  Northern Virginia North South Corridor Master Plan – Final

The final report contains many dubious assumptions and provides a very weak rationale for this extremely costly project that will do nothing to help solve the existing traffic problems in Northern Virginia.

Please try to attend one of the hearings to voice your opposition to the misuse of taxpayers dollars on the Tri-County Parkway.
