MEMORANDUM
Item 1: Security Drive
Attached, please find materials submitted by Greenway Engineering representing Navy
Federal Credit Union. To accommodate their expansion, there is a need to abandon a
portion of right-of-way and seek adoption of a shorter section into the state system of
highways. Mr. Evan Wyatt will be speaking on this item and Staff is seeking a
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Item 2: Hood Way
Attached please find materials provided by VDOT and Dennie Dunlap in support of a
road abandonment of Hood Way. This road abandonment is to aid in facilitating changes
to their site to facilitate traffic circulation. Staff is seeking a recommendation to the
Board of Supervisors.
Item 3: Route 50 Speed Limit
Supervisor Ewing has received numerous concerns regarding the speed limit on Route 50
to the east of Poorhouse Road. With the development of the Lutheran Home property
and introduction of the new signal at National Lutheran Boulevard with their associated
extra trips and conflicting movements, many of the nearby residents feel the speed limit
should be maintained at 45 until Poorhouse Road. Attached please find a preliminary
determination by VDOT traffic engineering regarding a potential reduction in speed limit.
Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on whether to request
VDOT perform a full speed study of the area.
Item 4: County Projects Update
Snowden Bridge Boulevard:
Stub connection from Snowden to Milburn is nearly complete and that will be the
last step of the project prior to requesting adoption into the state system of
highways.
Tevis Street Extension/Airport Road/I-81 Bridge:
Bridge design is ongoing and draft environmental documents for VDOT have
been received. Bridge Design has reached 75% and comments have been
received for that. Pennoni is incorporating the recent round of comments on the
TIA as well as incorporating additional scenarios to evaluate a potentially reduced
section for the Northern Y. Staff has had numerous coordination meetings with
VDOT to try to streamline the process and speed review comments.
Renaissance Drive:
Awaiting TPOF agreements from VDOT. Evaluating with the Board of
Supervisors the status of revenue sharing matching funds prior to beginning
design. Completing new project documentation for CSX through the County
Attorney.
Valley Mill Road Realignment:
Private partner has indicated a desire not to continue the project. Staff is
following up to clarify their intentions.
