ITEM #1 - CANTERBURG ROAD (ROUTE 636)
The Planning Department received a letter from Mr. James L. Bowman on January 4, 1993.
Mr. Bowman questioned the status of improvements and hardsurfacing to Route 636
(Canterburg Road) between Route 640 and Route 735. Mr. William H. Bushman
responded to Mr. Bowman to inform him of the project status, description, and anticipated
cost. Since Mr. Bushman's response, the Transportation Committee has been asked to
consider short term safety improvements along this section of road until actual construction
begins.

Dear Mr. Bushman:
i
N'U
I am writing to inquire about the status of Route
636 (Canterburg Road) between Routes 640 and 735 con-
cerning the improvements and hard surfacing of same.
The land for these improvements was secured by
VDOT early in 1989. As I am sure you are aware, this
part of 636 is hilly and has a number of very dangerous
curves on it, and a school bus route.
The reason for my concern is that my only daughter
Beverley B. Shoemaker and her school age child lives and
owns a large tract of land about midway on this route.
I would be most appreciative if this improvement
could be expedited as I am quite concerned about the
saftey of the school children on this very dangerous
road.
Thanking you for your consideration I remain
Sincerely yours,
tames L. Bowman

I am writing in response to your letter to me dated December 28, 1992.
The portion of Route 636 you inquired about is the Number Three (3) priority on The Unpaved
Road Fund Listing as established with the Frederick County Board of Supervisors. As Number
Three (3) Priority, and based on anticipated funding, the tentative advertisement date is
May, 1996. The total estimated cost for construction and utilities adjustments is $590,000.00.
I appreciate your concern and letting us know. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Sincerely,

ITEM #2 - FREDERICK COUNTY FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION PLAN
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has directed the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT) to update the functional classification for urban and rural routes
throughout the state. This proposed reclassification is in conjunction with the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency ACT (ISTEA). ISTEA has authorized the development
of a National Highway System (NHS). The purpose of the NHS is to provide an
interconnected system of principal arterial routes which will serve major population centers.
The 1992 Frederick County Comprehensive Plan specifies functional classifications for all
Major Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, and Minor Collector roads within the
county. The revised functional classification plan proposed by VDOT differs from the
existing plan as follows:
ROUTE FREDERICK COUNTY PLAN
11N (Major Arterial)
11S (Major Arterial)
50E (Major Arterial)
50W (Major Arterial)
127 (Minor Arterial)
522S (Major Arterial)
PROPOSED VDOT PLAN
(Major Collector)
(Major Collector)
(Minor Arterial)
(Minor Arterial)
(Major Collector)
(Minor Arterial)
The Transportation Committee will review the proposed functional classification plan and
discuss any item of concern. Staff will present a map that depicts the VDOT reclassification
proposal during this meeting. Once this proposal has been discussed, staff will ask for a
recommendation from the Transportation Committee.

Mr. John R. Riley, Jr.

Dear Mr. Riley:
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of
1991, authorized the development of a National Highway System
(NHS) to "...provide an interconnected system of principal
arterial routes which will serve major population centers,
international border crossings, ports, airports, public
transportation facilities, and other intermodal
transportation facilities and other major travel
destinations; meet national defense requirements; and serve
interstate and interregional travel."
Due to the significance of the NIHS, :ae believe it is
critically important to have the involvement of federal,
State, regional, and local planning officials in its
development. The proposed NHS needs to be submitted to the
Federal Highway Administration by April 30, 1993.
Please find attached a statewide map, any specialty maps
applicable to you and a table describing the preliminary
National Highway System as identified by the Department of
Transportation. Please review the attached material and
submit any comments you may have as soon as possible, but no
later than February 26, 1993, to:
Richard C. Lockwood
Virginia Department of Transportation
1401 E. Broad Street
Richmond, VA 23219
The NHS mileage target established by the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) for Virginia is 2,967 miles
consisting of 2,076 rural miles and 891 urban miles. The
targets are recognized by FHrriA to provide a starting point
December 28, 1992
Page 2
for developing the proposed NHS. FHWA anticipates that some
states will propose a system that is larger than the target;
however, the mileage for additional routes should not exceed
15 percent of the total mileage target for the state. In
order to provide flexibility in developing the proposed NHS,
the states are also permitted to transfer up to 15 percent
between the rural and urban mileage targets. As you can see,
we propose to exceed the target mileage by 14.7 percent and
transfer appr3ximately 9.3 percent from the rural to the
urban system.
As indicated on the mans, certain facilities are
required to be included in the final NHS. Those required
components consist of interstate routes, congressional high
priority routes, strategic highway network (STRAHNET) routes,
and major STF-.HNET connector routes. All other proposed
routes are functionally classified as principal arterials or
provide access to intermodal transportation facilities.
If you should have any questions, please call Mr. W. R.
Mustain, II, at (804) 786-7458. Thank you for your
assistance in this matter of mutual concern.
