That was spot on. I can't take him seriously with those tactics. If I really felt the town was responsible I would have some legal counsel to represent me.
"And really, how would this benefit anyone involved?"
"Which would just mean that the Town of Cary would need to make up that $$$ by dropping/reducing services elsewhere, or raising taxes. I'm not sure how that would be "true justice"."
The Town of Cary expected this guy to just roll over. He has not and now they want to spend your tax money fighting with him. And if you allow the town to reduce services or raise taxes to cover this fight, then you deserve it. If the politicians had to spend their own money fighting this, I suspect they would take a different tact. remeber whose money they are spending and hold them accountable.
The part about the plan to widen the road to 4 lanes in 1967 reminds me of the book: "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy".
How can they expect anyone to find and read a document filed in 1967 in the town archives before buying a house? I am sure you could spend a month reading all the documents on file with the town.

It would help me find stuff in Cary. Silly signs ordinances makes it impossible to find stuff.

This guy is a piece of work. Did you see the condition of the siding before he had it spray painted? Where is the pride of ownership? Just because your house is on a busy road you don't just give up on taking care of it. His neighbors manage to keep the landscaping tidy and their houses freshly painted. There was supposed to be "NC" after the comma but the painters talked him out of it. The comma makes me chuckle because it looks so silly. It makes me wonder if the homeowner was looking to make this a national news story. Why did he want "NC" added to it?
These types of points only distract from the issue at debate: "Has the road construction devalued the property to the point where it's not marketable"

I disagree.
Of course, the property is marketable.
As long as it has a clear title and a competent seller.
Assuming those two items, without hesitation, I would market it in a minute.
If the price was realistic, that is.
It always comes down to the market's perception of value.
The road widening and condition of the property probably have diminished the value of the property, but have certainly not rendered it unmarketable.

But Maynard Rd has been a major road in Cary for a very long time (20 to 30 years).
Anytime you buy a house that is close to a city street (especially a major city street), there is a high probability it will be widen in the future. I would bet Maynard will be widened to 6 lanes in the next 20 years.
