RE:
Public Hearing - No Through Truck Route on Old Charles Town Road
(Route 761)
DATE:
September 2, 2004
On December 17, 2002 the Frederick County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution requesting
that the Commonwealth Transportation Board consider restricting through truck traffic on Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761) from the intersection of Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) and Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761) to the intersection of Jordan Springs Road (Route 664) and Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761). VDOT has requested that a new public hearing be held for this
project as the original public hearing did not properly advertise the alternate route for this project.
An alternate route exists via Martinsburg Pike (Route 11) to Stephenson Road (Route 664) to Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761) to the intersection of Jordan Springs Road (Route 664) and Old
Charles Town Road (Route 761), and has been advertised as requested by VDOT for the Board's
September 8, 2004 Meeting.
Please find attached a new map showing the proposed no through truck route and alternate route.
After a public hearing is held, and if it is the Board s desire, it would be appropriate to pass a
new resolution of support for the restriction of through trucks as described above.
