Actually, there really hasn't been any real vocal objections (at least not yet) against using part of the Byron corridor from residents of Westboro or communities west of it. The NIMBYism is a largely assumed thing, especially because no serious proposal has been studied. I think the NCC is right to say that options should be explored because the best solution might actually be to use Richmond/Byron even if it would cost more in the long run. Let them pitch in or lobby the feds for the increased cost if they really don't want the Parkway to be touched.
