The Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan focuses on improvements to existing major
and minor arterial roads within Frederick County. Arterial Roads in Frederick County include
Routes 7,11,37,50,55,277, and 522. The Frederick County Primary Road Improvement Plan is
updated annually through a public hearing process involving reviews by the Transportation
Committee, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The adopted plan is submitted
to the Conunonwealth Transportation Board for consideration during the funding process in fall of
2004. The Conunonwealth Transportation Board will then take final action on the six year plan in
early spring of 2005.
On June 17, 2004 the Frederick County Transportation Committee recommended to add the Route
37 Eastern Bypass to the Primary Road Improvement Plan as the top priority. Therefore, the
attached draft plan includes the Route 37 Eastern Bypass as the top priority, with the exception that
the Phase 1 segment of Fairfax Pike (Route 277) is prioritized after the southern and northern
segments of the Route 37 Eastern Bypass, but before Route 37 is completed. This prioritization is
consistent with previous road plans which have included the Route 37 Eastern Bypass. Other
improvements listed on the 2005-2006 Primary Road Improvement Plan include upgrades to Route
11; spot improvements to intersections along Routes 50 and 277; and, the establishment of a
commuter parking and ride share lot on Route 7.
The Frederick County Planning Commission reconunended approval of the 2005-2006 Primary Road
Improvement Plan during their meeting on July 21, 2004. Please find attached a copy of the draft
Primary Improvement Plan for the 2005-2006 update, including a staff prepared map showing
project locations.
L After a publk hearing has been held, a decision by the Board of Supervisors regarding the proposed update
to the 2005-2006 Primary Road Improvement Plan would be appropriate.
