From the transcript

I'm a second-generation born, third-living-on-the-property in the area of this project, and I am intimately familiar with both the area and the development of it. I want to firmly state that I support the construction of this road. It has been badly needed in the area for many years, but I do have a concern regarding the project and regarding the impact it'll have on the area. The understanding that I and many members of the public have had based on public meetings with project staff and published documentation regarding the federal grant for this project was that it was intended for, quote, emergency access and egress. However, the project only appears to access a single neighborhood.
