Very glad to read about the new purpose and need statement for upgrades or improvements to Routes 55, 47 and 347. The "first step" study should also include potential improvements to Routes 83, 49 and 50. A "network" of roads leading into and out of Cape May County can handle more vehicles than one new road. Elimination of sharp curves, selective doubling of lanes, median protection and widened shoulders and intersections would improve traffic capacity, flow and safety. A traffic simulation model would assist in quantifying the added capacity and benefits of such upgrades and improvements.
