information is expected to be forwarded soon.

Item 2: Wakeland Manor Sign Requests
The County Administrator’s office has forwarded a request from the Wakeland Manor Home
Owners Association for Children at Play signs in their neighborhood. A total of ten signs are
requested. Under VDOT’s new policy, these signs would be installed and maintained by
Frederick County. Cost is expected to be $300-$400 per sign.
As the Committee considers this request, staff would note that Children at Play signs in
residential areas are most appropriate around recreation areas as opposed to more general
coverage.

Item 3: No Parking Request in Red Bud Run
Mr. Robert Pageant of the Red Bud Run subdivision has contacted VDOT and staff to request
that no parking be allowed in the vicinity of the following intersections.
Morlyn Drive and Morgan Mill Road
MacKenzie Lane and Woods Mill Road
The roadways in question are public streets and, should the County request a parking restriction,
VDOT will consider it.

Item 4: Apple Pie Ridge Rd
Mr. Greg Hewitt has contacted staff regarding speed limits on Apple Pie Ridge Road. His
concern is with the differing speed limits for trucks and passenger vehicles. He feels that the
discrepancy creates driver frustration on the part of the passenger vehicle and leads to unsafe
passing and accidents. He is particularly concerned by the number of the drivers that are
teenagers, due to the close proximity of James Wood High School.
Staff would note that VDOT has recently conducted a speed study and enacted speed limit
changes along Apple Pie Ridge Road. If changes were enacted to eliminate the difference in
speeds, it would likely be to lower the overall limit to the current truck limit.
Item 5: Other
