I strongly support the completion of the NC540 Triangle Expressway Southeast Extension and would urge the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources to swiftly approve the North Carolina Department of Transportation's mitigating
strategies for all 28.8 miles of new highway alignment project.
It is time to move these geographical portions of Wake and Johnston Counties int he 21sth Century of highway
infrastructure. For too many years the residents of these areas have been denied fair and equal access to a high speed
alternate route to around and into the greater Raleigh metropolitan area. The network of 19th Century two-lane
highways can no longer support the growing residential populations of Northwest Johnston County.
Please don't let fringe organizations continue to hinder progressive transportation planners and continue to oppose and
block the forward progress of these regions.
Approve the NCDOT mitigation strategies and let's move forward with the completion of this long overdue and much
needed infrastructure project.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit my thoughts to this hearing board.
Sincerely,
Dennis M. Barletta
