Subject: Town Bypass = Suicide? From: anonymous <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, 28 Feb 1998 15:47:33 -0500 We are looking for information about the damage to small towns created by the construction of bypass roads, such as decline of in-town businesses and increased sprawl and ugly development in the surrounding area. Does anyone know of any examples of towns that have suffered in this way? We are going to be making a presentation to the county commissioners and town council within the next few days about how the proposed bypass around our town might not be such a good idea.
