ITEM #1
Draft Revisions to the Eastern Road Plan
As you are aware, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is preparing their 2030
Transportation Plan for new and improved transportation corridors in Winchester and Frederick
County. This plan is to be adopted by the October 1St Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy
Committee. Staff has been comparing the County's Eastern Road Plan to the MPO plan.
Staff compared the Eastern Road Plan to the County's Land Use Plans, as we look towards
completely updating the road plan. Attached, you will find staff's comparison. This is purely a
draft, and is subject to change. In November, after MPO approval, staff will present a new Eastern
Road Plan that will be more in line with the MPO's plan as well as the County's comprehensive
plan.
Staff is seeking comment from the Transportation Committee regarding the new changes and updates
to the Eastern Road Plan. It is important to note that this will be part of a comprehensive review of
the UDA study of the County's comprehensive plan.
Including the information mentioned above, please find attached a copy of the draft Eastern
Road Plan update, including a staff prepared map showing new roadway corridors and major
road improvements.
