The following letter was sent to Ernie Lopez, R-Lewes, Steve Smyk, R-Milton, and Sussex county Councilman IG Burton and sent to the Cape Gazette for publication..
We do not support the proposed Hudson-Hughes Highway! When we purchased our home adjacent to the railroad right-of-way, we were aware a train would be going past on a regular occasional basis. We looked forward to watching the train move slowly down the tracks. We were also in favor of the “trail with rail” proposal.
Having a bike trail adjacent to our property would be an asset for the area. We are not in favor of the proposed highway! A highway so close to so many homes would not be an asset to any of the homeowners in the area.
Please do whatever is possible to stop this highway now!
Dan and Mary Ackerson
