Tsle of Wight County Supervisor RFD Carrsville, Virginia 23314 Dear Mr. Bradshaw: This letter is written to express my husband's and my support on a highway project for Route 614 near Walters, We are both citizens of Isle of Wight and residents of Walters. We will be un- able to attend the Board of Supervisors meeting on February 5, 1987 at which you will discuss this project, As you are aware, a recent accident on Route 614 in front of the house of Ray Redd claimed the lives of two people. This was an unnecessary tragedy which affected many lives --- ours included,. The spot on which the accident occured is chill which should be leveled. Approaching the hill from either side,. you are unable to see aver it. We feel this was more than likely the .primary cause of the re- cent accident. The secondary cause could have been the rounding of the road at this spot. Upon reaching the hill, you .find yourself pulling your car .closer to the middle of the road to keep .from going off the side, You are probably-aware that these are not the first fatalities on this site. Throughout. the last twenty--five years, there have been numerous nonfatal accidents as well. As a teenager learning to drive, I remember being constantly warned about this spot by my .parents. We feel now is the time for the county to include this particular project into .its five year road plan. Had this been done after the -last fatality,. as was asked, two people would still be with their families, two friends would still be among us, We both strongly support, and ask that .the Board of Supervisors support, the level- ing of this dangerous spot on Route 614. Sincerely, sjPamela R, Vaughan s/James.
