I recently became aware of the idea of the Hudson-Hughes Highway through articles in the Gazette.
I was somewhat disappointed in the fierce pushback from some who live nearby. I think it's fair to say that any "enhancement" to our infrastructure will not achieve 100 percent agreement at this point.
There will be some who will say, not in my back yard, or, when I bought this house this wasn't planned.
All of us are at a crossroads now. We have limited resources and options. The status quo cannot continue.
Approving two hotels in Five Points, a new development behind Atlantic Concrete, the proposed 270 houses on New Road.
We need to make tough choices at this point. Not everyone is going to be happy. As a Lewes native, I have watched with trepidation over the years as project after project has been approved. I also would say that this is an awesome place to live and only most of us want what's best.
In the end, some of us will be disappointed by the final plan. What we need to focus on is the needs of the community in general. Adequate access to Lewes and a great trail system are not mutually exclusive.
