July
2, 2007, Comments sent online to the Stop I-3 Coalition
Many
reasons, one message:
"Leave Our Mountains Alone!"
My husband and I have not one, but two houses along the
proposed
(original) I-3 route. Either or both homes, along with our
retirement,
would be ruined by putting an interstate highway through.
But not knowing is almost worse - should we go ahead and
improve our homes? Not if this monster is going ahead! Can
we sell and buy somewhere it won't be - not until the route
is final and by then we'd be selling at a huge loss.
Our house in Robbinsville sits between the mountain and
the Old Mother Church graveyard. There isn't enough room
between the two to build an interstate, and so it would almost
certainly be taken by
eminent-domain. Along with our planned burial plot. My husband's
family is buried there for generations. What will happen
to them?
At my house in Brasstown (about 500 yards from the proposed
route) and in-between is a beautiful little forest that *should*
be conserved if only because rare mountain Trillium grows
there in abundance. I had planned, and put in my will, to
return my land to the Cherokee (EBCI) upon my death. Now
I'm not sure they'd even want it!
Not only that, but I drive the proposed route on a fairly
regular basis to
get between these two houses and I can tell you that whatever
they do, it won't be easy or cheap! There will be whole mountains
to move, the
Natahala gorge will never be the same with heavy trucks overhead
and a great part of the natural beauty of this wonderful
oasis from city life
will be lost.
I have one message for Congress: Leave our mountains alone!
