The Biggest Issue Facing Virginia
I think that the biggest problem facing the state of Virginia is transportation. Especially in Northern Virginia, traffic is very heavy, and there are too many cars for the roads we have. Virginia needs to either improve Mass Transit in order to lessen the number of cars on the roads, or widen the roads we already have, and create more roads, so that more cars can fit on the roads without creating heavy traffic. In addition to the need for more spacious roads, Virginia's roads need repair because they are in such poor condition. Both candidates for Virginia's govern have been addressing this issue frequently in their campaigns, so hopefully we will have a solution underway shortly after the elections.

I definitely agree with you. As a driver in Northern Virginia, traffic is ridiculous. But solving this problem is not just important because it’s annoying; the number of the cars on the road poses a lot of safety issues for drivers, passages, cyclers, and pedestrians alike. But I hope that the gubernatorial elections will help to bring this issue into light again.
