RE: Improved Safety Conditions On Double Church Road (Route 641)
Dear Bill:
The purpose of this letter is to convey our concern regarding a
segment of Double Church Road (Route 641). This segment is
immediately south of the intersection of Double Church Road and
Grim Road (Route 640). There is a serious visibility problem in
this area due to the design of the road. The road continues uphill
to this intersection and then drops off significantly. This poor
design, compounded with the speed limit on Double Church Road,
creates an unsafe situation.
I had an opportunity to meet with Mrs. Glenda Madigan on July 6,
1993. Mrs. Madigan is a resident of this area and has asked that
Frederick County consider improving this segment of Double Church
Road. Mrs. Madigan told me that she and her family have assisted
accident victims at this intersection on many occasions. This is
not surprising based on my observations of this area. It was very
difficult to see dump trucks traveling in the north bound lane
towards Neffs Excavating, and impossible to see automobiles.
I discussed this situation with Don Taylor. Mr. Taylor would like
this issue to be discussed at the August 2, 1993 meeting of the
Frederick County Transportation Committee. Hopefully, a solution
to this situation can be determined.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Please contact me
if I may answer any questions regarding this letter.
Sincerely,
Lu -""7 �- - '-Evan A_ Wyat-

ITEM #2
Safety Improvements Along Woodsmill Road (Route 660)
Staff met with Mr. Patrick McTiernan to discuss safety concerns along Woodsmill Road.
Mr. McTiernan is specifically concerned with decreased visibility along the segment of
Woodsmill Road from Berryville Pike (Route 7) and Red Bud Road (Route 661).
Staff informed Mr. McTiernan that Woodsmill Road is currently included in the County Six
Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan, but that it was an unscheduled improvement at
this time. Mr. McTiernan has asked that the Committee consider interim improvements
until this project can be completed by the state. Staff will provide the Committee with
photographs of this area during the meeting. Mr. McTiernan has asked that staff inform
him of any action taken by the Transportation Committee.
