Varina residents are at odds with Henrico County officials over proposed Route 5 improvements. While everyone agrees on the need for safer roads and better traffic flow, locals fear that infrastructure upgrades will open the door to unwanted development, threatening the area's rural charm and historic character.

With an online survey underway, residents are fighting to ensure their voices are heard in the debate between progress and preservation.
