LETTER: Find an alternative to C1

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Staff

I live on George King Road in Durham County and I am writing to comment on the Durham-CH-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Please find an alternative to the C1 proposal for the future light-rail transit routes, or any route that cuts through Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The state game lands, the waterfowl impoundment and also undeveloped private lands contain some of the last refuges for wildlife. We see coyotes, bobcats, foxes, owls, herons, bald eagles and many other native creatures. Also, on the border of the game lands are two gigantic loblolly pine trees (probably original growth forest) that ought to be protected and preserved. Please protect our wetlands; many small creeks flow into Little Creek that then flows into Jordan Lake, which is of course a primary source of drinking water for the surrounding area.
Thank you for your consideration.
