The benefits of the site in terms of tourism, national and international ethos, aesthetic appeal, archaeological and historical importance, continuing cultural significance, heritage, and personal/spiritual rights and reasonings of many of those who visit it regularly and upon solstices and other mass celebrations vastly outweigh the benefits that the road would bring. We still barely understand the era from an archaeological perspective and cutting a significant part out of it would also vastly hinder our ability to diagnose much of the era through this site of pivotal archaeological interest. We do not, in my opinion, want to be the culture that, for little reason, tears down and destroys important artefacts and sites of our land - pardon the crude comparison, but that is literally what ISIS do, this is not what our country and our people stand for and as our government I feel you should respect that and democratically stand fro what the people of your land want/deserve - and not what is of minor economic benefit on a level above the people. Thank you for your time.
