“I have had regular and ongoing communications with a small group of
local residents who are quite vocal and informed regarding this project,
and who have raised a number of questions about it, some of which have
been addressed by the DOT and some of which
have not,” Crisco said.
“I would invite the DOT to come to Woodbridge once again, as they did in April, and to hear these citizens out, and to adopt any changes that they think are necessary based on the public input. I know not everyone will be satisfied with the final outcome, but the act of listening and explaining is a very fundamental component of the relationship between the public and its government, and I want there to be a very clear understanding on both sides of the potential pluses and minuses of this project.”

completion in the fall of 2015.

Since then, additional public concerns have been raised, including
idling cars, cutting trees, light pollution and possible speeding on a
newly re-leveled roadway.At that time, he raised several local concerns about the project, many of which had been raised at the April DOT public meeting in Woodbridge.
