Sully Sullenberger Message Applies to Champlain Parkway Injury Generating Design

Just tweeted: Hero pilot Sully Sullenberger Saturday on 737 Max 8 crashes: “quality and safety pay for themselves...always better & cheaper to get it right than repair the damage after..." Re-design Champlain Pkwy. group targets no safe walk/bike facilities, no safe intersections. #vtpoli #btv

As Chapin Spencer stated at the last so-called "public hearing" about two years ago, if we were to design the Champlain Parkway today we would not do the same design for this $43 million project. Doing it right the first time--particularly by using today's best practices for safety totally absent in the design is exactly what Sully is talking about. Listen up Governor Scott, Agency of Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn, Federal Highway Administration VT Division Director Matthew Hake, BTV Mayor Weinberger, and City Councilors!
