Handley Regional Library
The Handley Regional Library continues to recommend four projects, consistent with
their 2013-2014 requests. The library's top priority is a parking lot sidewalk extension
promoting sidewalk access at the Bowman Library as phase 2 of the parking lot
expansion project. The parking lot expansion component of the project was completed
during 2011. The library wishes to extend the sidewalks to serve residents traveling from
the east to Lakeside Drive.
The three remaining projects request that funding be provided for new library branches
throughout the county which include the areas of Gainesboro, Senseny/Greenwood Road,
and Route 522 South, with the latter two being located within the UDA (Urban
Development Area).
Transportation Committee
The Transportation Committee continues to provide project requests for the CIP.
Virginia State Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a locality's
CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from developers and
revenue sharing. Implementation of transportation projects does not take away funding
for generalized road improvements.
The Transportation Committee has requested funding for sixteen projects. The sixteen
requests include projects that entail widening of major roads; key extensions of roads that
help provide better networks, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and the addition of
turn lanes at current unsafe intersections. The Senseny Road bicycle and pedestrian
improvement project has been removed from the plan. The inclusion of the Eastern Road
Plan Improvements item once again emphasizes the connection between the CIP and
potential proffered contributions made with rezoning projects which are aimed at
mitigating potential transportation impacts identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
The major change to the transportation project list in this year's CIP is the classification
of the projects into funded and unfunded priorities.
Winchester Regional Airport
Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where the federal and
state governments contribute a majority of the funding, with Frederick County and the
other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding.
The Airport has recently completed a major improvement of their runway. With this
project moving from the CIP, The Airport Authority is now focusing their CIP efforts on
Taxi way improvements and Property acquisition in support of airport development to
meet Federal Aviation requirements for general aviation facilities. The vast majority of
the funding for these improvements came from the FAA and VDA.
