Crozet is getting two traffic signals!  Might they consider making them flashing lights that do not require stopping during non-school hours?There was a nasty multi-vehicle wreck the other day on Route 240/Crozet Avenue at about 8:45 am - right when everybody was trying to make it to the schools.  Some were able to turn around and make their way to the new Old Trail connector road.  Others were stuck in the backup.  Most surprising was that the police guarding the movie set in Old Trail couldn’t be bothered to leave their posts chit-chatting.  I have little doubt that they were off-duty police, but they were in uniform and were driving County police cars - my thought is that public safety should come first.  Silly me.

The DP has a good story this morning about the tunnel running under Afton mountain.  Soon, it will be part of Nelson County’s tourism business.  “It’s going to be pretty dark,” Gandy said, explaining that the Whitesell Group studied a similar, longer tunnel in Seattle that used only reflectors when it was turned into a trail.  “It sort of looked like you’re walking at night under a full moon.  … To light it is just a sin.  You want that endorphin rush when you’re coming through.”I’m going to have to go one day soon.
