The widening of U.S. 1 is going to be one of the most significant public infrastructure projects in the Mount Vernon-Lee Area over the next ten years. It is critically important that we get this right.
I would strongly encourage all of my constituents and persons with an interest in the improvement of U.S. 1 to consider providing public comment. Here are some resources you may want to consider:
FHWA Public Comment Information Sheet
FHWA Environmental Assessment Status Summary and InfomationFHWA Public Meeting Boards from June 5, 2012 Public Hearing

I have also written some articles regarding my perspective on the issue that also contain letters that have been exchanged by various parties and other information provided through this process:
The Dixie Pig: Public Discourse on Widening U.S. 1 (June 23, 2012)
The Diixie Pig: Where I Stand Today on Widening U.S. 1 (June 25, 2012)

Go below the fold to provide comments. I'll release the results to the multiple choice questions once they are all in.
I support Delegate Surovell's suggestion to widen-in-place by moving the alignment to the north/west (Plantation side) of the highway to avoid the cemetery.
