The only acceptable route of which I am aware is the 17.5 route mostly through Pamlico Sound. Surely good access to Hatteras Island is well worth the cost. If our elected representatives do not agree, it appears that our island will have to settle for ferry service earlier than would otherwise be the case.

Here is an article about the deeds
