Faulconer Construction got started on the county portion of the Meadowcreek Parkway last week, carving out an access way to begin building a bridge over Meadow Creek. Meanwhile, opponents also got busy, asking the Board of Supervisors to hold off on the 40-year-old project until permits are acquired for the other two portions of the road, which are in the city. Of course, they hope those permits won’t be acquired, and sent an attorney’s memo to the supervisors describing the legal troubles. “These obstacles, particularly legal issues related to federal funding and environmental review, may prove to be insurmountable and the northern portion of the parkway may become a ‘road to nowhere,’” wrote John Cruickshank. “I believe that starting construction at this time is a mistake.”
