RE� Six Year Road Improvement Program Public Hearing
DATE: August 13, 2007
This is a public hearing item to consider the updates of the Interstate, Primary, and Secondary
Road Improvement Plans. At the June 18, 2007 meeting of the Transportation Committee, the
Committee voted to recommend approval of the draft Interstate, Primary, and Secondary Road
Improvement Plans for Frederick County. On July 18, 2007 the Planning Commission also
recommended approval of the plans. These recommendations are now forwarded along with
drafts of the plans for your consideration.
You will find that there are no significant changes to the Interstate and Primary Plans, with the
exception of reorganizing the priority of the Route 37 segments by breaking former priority 1 C,
which traveled from existing Route 37 west of Stonewall Industrial Park north and east around
Stonewall Industrial Park to I -81 and then south and east all the way to Route 522. 1 C is now
from existing Route 37 west of Stonewall Industrial Park; north and east around Stonewall
Industrial Park to I -81 and then south and east to Route 7. 1D is now from Route 7 to Route 522.
In the Secondary Road Improvements Plan, a number of projects have been added in recognition
of County priorities. Rural hard surfacing requests have been rated and the two with the highest
rankings have been moved from the unscheduled to the scheduled list. Those roadways are
Warm Springs Road and Woodside Road.
Should the Board of Supervisors find these plans ready for approval, staff has included
Resolutions of Adoption.
