STATEMENTS BY MAYOR ELIZABETH WATERS AND REVEREND PETER WAY
The Rector introduced guests of the Board, Mayor of Charlottesville Elizabeth Waters and Albemarle County Supervisor Chairman Reverend Peter Way. Both spoke urging the Board not to take action on any resolution objecting to studies for roadways to relieve congestion on Route 29 North. Mayor Waters said President O'Neil had ushered in a new era in establishing good relationships between the City, County, and University, and she expressed gratitude to him. Reverend Way agreed with the Mayor and endorsed her remarks.
Mrs. Cochran presented a resolution concurring with the University of Virginia Real Estate Foundation opposing the construction of a roadway on the North Grounds of the University, and not to consider the construction of a road between Stillhouse Mountain and the Colonnades Life Care Center.
The Rector advised that the resolution read by Mrs. Cochran is the sense of the Board, but in deference to the official visitors, the motion favoring the resolution is tabled.
The President said that he felt a clear sense of the Board's position about the roadway, but he was pleased that the motion was tabled at this time.
