2) Review of Transportation Plans
The primary purpose for meeting in May will be to familiarize Transportation Committee members with
current transportation plans in preparation for the annual update of the Secondary and Primary Road
Improvement Plans. In the past, the Transportation Committee reviewed these two documents separately.
The Primary Road Plan was typically reviewed in the Spring and the Secondary Road Plan was reviewed
in the Fall. However, this year these two plans will be reviewed together at the request of VDOT. In June
the Transportation Committee will be responsible for making a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors on these plans.
This meeting may also be beneficial for new members ofthe Transportation Committee to become familiar
with the current transportation planning process. Indeed, it will be a good time to ask staff questions
regarding transportation planning in Frederick County. The following transportation plans will be reviewed:
A) 2004-2005 Secondary Road Improvements Plan
B) 2004-2004 Primary Road Improvements Plan
C) Eastern Road Plan
D) Frederick County Bicycle Plan
Please find these four documents enclosed in your agenda package. Staff has also enclosed copies of the
Hard Surface Improvement Proj ect Rating System Policy, which relates to new hard surfacing requests for
the Secondary Road Improvement Plan.

HARDSURFACE ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
2004/2005 through 2009/2010
Hardsurface road improvement projects provide impervious resurfacing and reconstruction of non-hardsurfaced
secondary roads. Hardsurface improvement projects are prioritized by an objective rating system which considers
average daily traffic volumes; occupied structures; physical road conditions including geometrics, drainage, and
accident reports; school bus routing, and the time that project requests have been on the Secondary Road
Improvement Plan.

FREDERICK COUNTY, VIRGINIA
Adopted by the Frederick County Board of Supervisors on March 10, 2003 -
PREFACE
2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan
The 2003 Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan for Frederick County, Virginia focuses on
improvements to existing major and minor arterial roads within the county. The improvements
recommended in this plan are components of the Winchester Area Transportation Study (WATS),
the Interstate 81 Improvement Study, and the 2000 Frederick County Comprehensive Policy Plan.
The plan is intended to manage the traffic demands of Frederick County into the foreseeable future.
For the purposes of funding priority, the Primary and Interstate Road Improvement Plan has been
separated into Primary Road Funding Requests and Interstate Funding Requests. These projects are
listed in order of priority and will continue to appear on subsequent plans until funding has been
secured for their completion.
2003 PRIMARY and INTERSTATE
ROAD IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Primary Road Funding Requests
1) Route 277 (East of Stephens City)
County staff to work with site developers to acquire dedicated right-of-way and achieve
grading, drainage, and construction improvements in conjunction with development projects
which occur along the corridor until such time that funding is available for construction.

Program funding for the completion of right-of-way acquisition and construction of each
phase as described above.
