A smoldering issue for many Loudoun County residents is the access or lack of access from Route 28 to the many commercial establishments along it from I-66 to the intersection with Route 7 at he northern end. Last week, VDOT announced the permanent closing of the Cedar Green Road intersection. A number of concerned citizens groups have protested this move, offering the temporary solution of allowing it to remain open until the major reworking of the Pacific Boulevard/Waxpool Road is completed. Steve sides with the community groups. It’s hard enough to safely enter and exit Route 28 businesses now. We don’t need for it to be even more difficult for the next few years.
