City's Great Neck, Little Neck peninsulas isolated islands that frustrate transportation

Editor:

While we are on the hot topic of a tax referendum to alleviate traffic congestion we should also consider building bridges over the Eastern Branch and the Western Branch of the Lynnhaven River which would liberate all the residents living in the peninsula, commonly referred to as the King's Grant Little Neck Area.

There are a number of sites on both sides of these river branches that would allow residents to connect with Independence to the West and to Great Neck and First Colonial to the East, and Shore Drive to the North without the necessity to drive to Virginia Beach Boulevard to go any of four directions, E,N,W,S.

Just look at a local map. Look at the thousands of residents trapped in that peninsula, who each day have to drive to Virginia Beach Boulevard to go anywhere.
