Staff presented the Committee with the resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors
regarding the Route 522 south study, as well as some of the history surrounding the planned
realignment of that roadway. Staff also informed the Committee that VDOT has already
funded an interchange modification study for Exit 313 that will effectively cover all of the
key issues that the Board would like to have studied. VDOT staff was present and was
supportive of this while confirming that Frederick County would be provided an active seat
at the table as the study was scoped and conducted.
Mr. Racey made a motion to recommend the Board follow the staff recommendation and
the motion was seconded by Mr. Grigsby.
Motion passed unanimously.
107 North Dent Street, Suite 202 a Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000
***Items Not Requiring Action***
1. Capital Improvement Program
The Committee recommended one change to the Capital Improvement program regarding
the ranking of the Route 277 project. This item will be coming to the Board independently.
2. Revenue Sharing Application
Staff recommended and the Committee endorsed two applications for revenue sharing funds
for the following projects:
Russell 150 Roadways - $5.8 M
Valley Mill Road (supplemental) - $500 K
NOTE: In the time since the TC made this endorsement, coordination with VDOT has
indicated the Valley Mill application is not timely and should wait. As a result, staff is only
bringing forward the Russell 150 Application.
