Supervisor DeHaven has received a request for "Watch for Children" signs in the Third Battle
Subdivision on the north side of the City of Winchester. He and I have discussed and made
the determination that we should proceed to place the signs in both the Third Battle and
Battleview Subdivisions. The terminology is as follows:
Third Battle Subdivision
Route 1324 (Longstreet Avenue) from Rt. 1325 to Rt. 1326-0.11 miles
Route 1326 (Confederate Drive) from Rt. 1325 to 0.11 miles northwest of Rt. 1325-0.11 miles
Battleview Subdivision
Route 1327 (Johnston Drive) from Rt. 1200 to Rt. 1347-0.12 miles
Route 1347 (Muse Drive) from Rt. 1200 to 0.24 miles north of Rt. 1200-0.24 miles
Route 1348 (McNeil Place) from Rt. 1347 to 0.03 mile southwest of Rt. 1347-0.03 miles
Route 1349 (Forrest Drive) from Rt. 1200 to Rt. 1347-0.120 miles
I have reviewed the subdivisions and support the installation of these signs.
