Default The Dragon getting Widened and Changed?

I ran into a petition out there to stop the widening of the dragon at deals gap.
Is that an issue?
Has anyone else seen it? Save the Dragon Petition

Proposed Routing
Interstate 3 is the proposed designation for a new freeway corridor along the Savannah River corridor between Savannah, Georgia, and Knoxville, Tennessee. Proposed previously as the Savannah River Parkway, it was elevated to Interstate status through a bill introduced in July 2004 by Georgia Representative Max Burns. The highway has an initial numbering of Interstate 3 in honor of Fort Stewart's 3rd Infantry Division's lead role in the War on Terror in Iraq. Interstate 3 would be known as the "3rd Infantry Division Highway."

The new freeway corridor would start in Savannah at the current interchange between Georgia 21 and Interstate 95. Interstate 3 would then aim northwest from Interstate 95 via Georgia 21 past Springfield to the Sylvania Bypass and then onto U.S. 301 north. The freeway would depart U.S. 301 at Georgia 24, then continue northwest via Georgia 24 to Bypass U.S. 25 at Waynesboro. Interstate 3 would then follow U.S. 25 north to Interstate 520, then overlay Interstate 520 to the west of Augusta and passing by proposed Interstate 14. North of Interstate 20, Interstate 3 would follow Georgia 104 north to Georgia 47 at Leah, then take Georgia 79 from Lincolnton north to Georgia 72 east of Elberton. Interstate 3 would head west to Elberton via Georgia 72, then continue northwest via Georgia 77 to Hartwell. After passing Interstate 85, Interstate 3 would take over Georgia 17 northwest to Toccoa, Clarkesville, and Hiawassee.

After departing Hiawassee, Interstate 3 would leave Georgia and enter North Carolina, following Georgia 17 and North Carolina 69 north to U.S. 64 west to Murphy. At Murphy, the freeway would follow U.S. 19-129 north and U.S. 74 east via an existing expressway to Topton, then head north along U.S. 129 to the western edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and onward into Tennessee. Once in Tennessee, Interstate 3 would follow U.S. 129 north through Maryville and Alcoa, then pick up Interstate 140 north to meet Interstates 40-75 just west of Knoxville. This interchange would serve as the northern terminus.

Interstate 3 is a somewhat disputed designation for this route because it does not fit into the grid pattern of U.S. Interstate highways. Lower, odd-numbered, north-south routes exist in the West. However, since there are no easily identifiable available numbers, Interstate 3 was proposed. However, this corridor could easily become a southern extension of Interstate 81 or even given an even designation such as Interstate 18 (similar to the trajectory of Interstate 24 or Interstate 26). Hopefully this designation will be altered, especially since Interstate 3 may someday be a number needed for California and the West Coast!
