Residents Oppose Proposed Roundabout in Stephenson Area

In an opinion piece published by The Winchester Star, resident Tina Bragg argues against the proposed $11.5 million roundabout at Old Charles Town Road and Martinsburg Pike, citing concerns about traffic safety, especially for school buses near local elementary schools. Bragg highlights that the existing traffic light already manages the flow effectively and fears that increased traffic from nearby developments, such as Snowden Bridge, will create more hazards. She emphasizes the perspectives shared by long-time residents at the recent meeting with VDOT officials, questioning the necessity and funding priorities for infrastructure changes in the area.
