ITEM #1
Frederick County Secondary Construction Budget
The Virginia Department of Transportation has asked that the Board of Supervisors endorse
the Frederick County portion of the 1993-1994 Staunton District Secondary Construction
Budget. This budget is derived from the priorities specified in the Frederick County Six
Year Secondary Road Improvement Plan. The Board of Supervisors will consider the
proposed Secondary Construction Budget during their July meeting.
Included with the proposed budget and Six Year Secondary Road Plan is a request from
Beverly Sherwood, Gainesboro District Supervisor. Mrs. Sherwood has asked that the
Transportation Committee consider combining two (2) projects specified on the Hardsurface
Road Improvement Plan. Mrs. Sherwood has suggested that money could be saved if Route
734 (priority #1) and Route 699 (priority #5) were improved concurrently.
The Transportation Committee will be asked to forward a recommendation to the Board
of Supervisors regarding the proposed Secondary Construction Budget.

Dear Board Members:
Tentative 1993-94 Construction
Allocations and Six -Year
Improvement Program
Enclosed is a copy of the tentative construction fund
allocations for fiscal year 1993-94 for the Interstate, Primary,
and Urban Highway Systems, as well as Public Transit, Ports, and
Airports, including an update of the Six -Year Improvement Program
through 1998-99.
with passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act (ISTEA) of 1991, several new program categories are necessary. In
this document you will find separate programs for the Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program intended to
relieve congestion and improve air quality in the Northern Virginia,
Fredericksburg, Richmond and Hampton Roads areas; an Enhancement
Program for projects that are over and above normal highway
improvements; and a Safety Program for reducing transportation
hazards.
The Route 58 Corridor Development Program is also included as a
separate section.
Preliminary approval of these allocations was given by the
Commonwealth Transportation Board at it May 20 meeting. Final
action will be requested after the Board holds public hearings in
Salem and Richmond in June as indicated on the enclosed notice.
we greatly appreciate the valuable help provided by the many
county officials who participated in our recent preallocation
hearings and contributed to the allocation and planning process.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Taylor:
It has been brought to my attention that cost savings
could be accomplished by combining two projects already on the
Six Year Road Improvement Plan.
The first project is scheduled to start this Summer
(Route 695 hard surfacing). The second project has been on
the Six Year Plan for a long time but is number 5 on the
current list (Route 699 near the Leary Educational Facility).
If these two projects could be done together, there would
be a substantial savings. Based on this information I would
request that the Transportation Committee consider readjusting
the priority of Route 699.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

ITEM #2
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA)
Transportation Enhancement Program Proposal
Enclosed is a narrative and general location map for an ISTEA Transportation
Enhancement proposal for Frederick County. Transportation Enhancement activities are
funded under the Surface Transportation Program (STP) of ISTEA. Each state is required
to set aside ten percent (10%) of STP funds for enhancement proposals. It is estimated that
Virginia will provide approximately seven (7) million dollars each year for enhancements
throughout the life of this program.
Staff will provide a detailed map of this proposal during the Transportation Committee
meeting and make a brief presentation. The application package for this funding source
directs municipalities to provide official and civic support. The Winchester/Frederick
County Joint Transportation Committee endorsed this project on Tuesday, June 1, 1993.
It would be very beneficial if this committee would endorse this proposal in letter or
resolution form as well.
ISTEA TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROPOSAL
The following information has been compiled to provide details regarding a proposal for
ISTEA Transportation Enhancement Funds:
Enhancement Activity Qualification
This particular proposal is for the creation of a bicycle/pedestrian facility near the Route
277 (Fairfax Pike) Corridor. This qualifies as one (1) of the ten (10) project categories
specified in the Transportation Enhancement Program.
Q Project Location and Description
This facility will provide a networked connection between various high density residential
subdivisions, the Sherando Park property on the north and south side of Route 277, and the
new Sherando High School. It is envisioned that this facility would be phased to provide
future connections with high density residential subdivisions along Route 647 (Aylor Road),
Route 641 (Double Church Road), Route 642 (Macedonia Church Road), Warrior Drive,
and other public facilities such as Robert E. Aylor Middle School and Bass Hoover
Elementary School.
31 Project Need.
The Route 277 Corridor has experienced significant growth over the last several years. This
growth has accounted for an increase in residential -use, as well as additional recreational
amenities and public facilities. The Route 277 Corridor has become a major attractor for
this reason. The creation of a planned networked connection for various transportation
modes would benefit this entire area. It is desirable to separate vehicular traffic from that
of pedestrian and bicycle traffic whenever possible. It is also prudent to plan for a facility
along existing and planned rights-of-way when this separation of traffic is not possible. The
creation of this type of facility would enhance safety, as well as provide for recreational and
utilitarian uses.
41 Players.
The proposed facility would require cooperation between various groups. This particular
phase will be created through the cooperation of the Frederick County Parks and
Recreation Department, the Frederick County School Board, and Dr. John E. McAllister.
This partnership will provide a facility that will connect the Sherando Park facility, the new
Sherando High School, and the residential subdivisions of Jefferson ViUage, the Vi'uage at
Sherando single family development Deer Run at Sherando, and the Village at Sherando
townhouse development. It is anticipated that the local 20% match can be achieved through
in-kind matches such as land grants, the provision of materials and services, and required
residential improvements.
51 Critical Areas.
The proposed facility will traverse Route 277 at the entrance to the new Sherando High
School, and at the entrance to the new Sherando Park Softball Complex. The Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT) is installing a traffic light at the entrance to the new
high school. Part of this proposal will require the installation of a box culvert under Route
277. This box culvert has been discussed with VDOT in the past and is a feasible solution.
61 Project Funding
Two (2) funding sources will be applied for. The first funding source is the Recreational
Access Fund. This is a 100% grant from the state and will be enough money to cover the
construction costs associated with this facility throughout the Sherando Park properties on
the north and south side of Route 277. The second funding source will be the ISTEA
Transportation Enhancement Program. This will provide 80% Federal Funds which will
complete the connection throughout the referenced residential developments, the Sherando
High School property, and the installation of the box culvert under Route 277.
7) Additional Phases.
Additional phases of this facility will be planned and applied for throughout the annual
application process. It is envisioned that a networked facility that will provide safe, efficient
access for recreational and utilitarian uses can be created within this project area.

Dear Mr, Wyatt:
MAIL ADDRESS
P O. BOX 27412
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 23269
As the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles and a member of the State
CADRE Agency Head Board, I encourage you to participate in your community's CADRE
-- the Commonwealth Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and Education. CADRE is a
state and local network of organizations and individuals united to reduce the
incidence of alcohol and other drug use among youth. Ten state agencies and 122
community CADREs work together to ensure that comprehensive services are available
for youth in drug education, prevention, intervention, treatment, rehabilitation
and enforcement.
Community CADRES mobilize their citizens to identify needs and resources and
appropriate community-based services. From this, they develop comprehensive plans
to ensure the availability and accessibility of services through a partnership
between the public and private sectors. your participation is crucial to the
success of communities in combating the use of alcohol and other drugs among youth
on and off of our roadways.
As you know, an increased emphasis is being placed at the federal and state levels
for strong community networking and collaboration in planning services for youth
and their families. Our success is directly contingent upon our ability to work
in a collaborative, focused effort rather than through parallel or splintered
ones. We must maximize our resources to minimize the number of our young people
whose lives are being destroyed by alcohol and other drugs.
if jrou are already involved in your conLLuunity's CADRE, I wish to thank you for
contributing your time, energy and expertise to make this vital difference in your
community. If you're not already involved, or if your locality doesn't have a
viable CADRE, I encourage you to be an active player. If you don't know who to
contact, please call the Governor's Alliance Information Line at 1-800-451-5544.
It's going to take all of us to create a better future for our young people.
The Department of Motor Vehicles is also available to assist communities and
individuals. Feel free to call or write if you have needs or concerns.
Sincerely,
