I live in NoVa and I take the train into work in DC, VRE and Amtrak. Best way to commute. Widening 95 and 66 won’t help, not at the rate the area is growing. Stafford co just released a study saying their population will increase by another 1/3rd in 20 years. Look up “induced demand”, expanding the roads is an expensive bandaid solution that will only hurt us down the road.
The reason I can’t agree with the induced demand concept in Stafford is that Stafford is a massive choke point. That choke point used to be in Dumfries before the HOT extension. When Stafford increases by another third, you won’t be able to drive anywhere.
