We respectfully request that the Western Connector be removed from the Moore County Comprehensive Transportation Plan for the following reasons:

• It will be a four lane divided expressway with limited access, effectively destroying over 200 homes, farms, fields and forests
• It will not decongest other roads clogged with local traffic
• It will cost over $163 Million that is better spent on more important projects (like schools)
• It will negatively impact environmentally sensitive areas
