Item #I
2002 Primary Road Improvement Plan
Please find attached the Draft 2002 Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan for your
review and recommendation. The purpose of this plan is to advise the Commonwealth
Transportation Board of the funding priorities for the Primary Road System in Frederick County.
The Draft 2002 Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan maintains the same priorities as
the 2001 Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan, with the exception that the priorities
associated with the Route 37 project have been eliminated. The Board of Supervisors directed the
Transportation Committee to reevaluate the priorities of the 2002 Primary Road Improvement Plan
and forward a recommendation regarding the draft plan.
PREFACE
The 2002 Primary Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County, Virginia focuses on improvements
to existing major and minor arterial systems within the county's Urban Development Area. The
improvements recommended in this plan are components of the Winchester Area Transportation
Study (WATS) and the Interstate 81 Improvement Study. The plan is intended to manage the traffic
demands in Frederick County and the City of Winchester into the foreseeable future. These projects
are listed in order of priority and will continue to appear on subsequent plans until funding has been
secured for their completion.
