We are at a time when we need to significantly reduce automobile dependency in the US and NC. Widening
540 would serve to induce car traffic and ameliorate our collective output of greenhouse gas emissions. I'm
aware that not everyone believes in the unfolding changes in our climate, yet the most reputable, international
organization formed to date and focused on understanding and communicating about the grave dangers of
nonlinear atmospheric warming have sounded a clarion call to drastically reduce our carbon output. We at the
local government level can only contribute so much to this existential fight, yet large, powerful agencies like
NCDOT have an enormous impact on our climate and transportation future. Though design of our state's road
network, DOT must correct course and facilitate and promote more active, healthy, and sociable forms of
transportation. Seismic change in strategy is needed, not more of the same useless and evermore reckless
highway-widening!
