Techway study needs info.
Commercial users should be sure to include the economic value of use of this area. Tuesday night's Techway meeting in Great Falls, Va. revealed that the evaluation categories that have been established for the FHWA river crossing study appear to be heavily weighted in favor of economic costs and benefits. The Federal Highway Administration representative acknowledged that the FHWA, which is conducting the feasibility study for a river crossing, does not have information on the natural resource, historical, recreational, and cultural values of the Potomac River, its shorelines, and its islands. They ask that users of the area contact them with the information at the web site mentioned above. This is an important issue.
