I've been one of the folks, among many, I'm sure, leaving those comments. That section of Jerry Dove Drive between the airport exit and Rte 50 is literally dangerous, especially in the winter, with all the dips and sinkholes in it. Hopefully nobody gets seriously hurt between now and next Spring and Summer driving on it. They did a fantastic job on Rte 50 this summer and it's a pleasure to drive now.

That road should have been designed completely different in the first place.
-why is it so crooked? -why wasn't it completed with concrete in the first place? It is subject to heavy truck traffic and should have been designed for it. -why are the on/off ramps for 131 so sharp and short? -the intersection with US 50 and I-79 should have all been cloverleaf interchanges instead of the 90 degree intersection with 50 and all the traffic lights at I-79. Road building and design is not a new art. All of these things are known, they just need done. This is a perfect example of where all of these things could have been done before any development took place. The property could have been purchased by the state at a cheaper rate and the interchanges could have all been done correctly at the beginning. Chris Bowman Bridgeport
