On Monday morning, I had the opportunity to attend a Transportation Summit sponsored by the Fredericksburg Area Chamber of Commerce. A big takeaway from the summit was that our elected leadership in Richmond is failing us on the issue of transportation.
When I served as the Aquia District Supervisor in Stafford County, state officials came to the Stafford Board to gain our support for the HOT Lanes. We told them back then that Stafford could not support this idea unless the lanes extended down to Massaponax, because we knew the terrible bottleneck that would be caused at the end of the lanes.
