MEMORANDUM
Item 1: Update on Interstate, Primary, and Secondary road plans
Staff is working on the update of the Interstate, Primary, and Secondary road plans and will
update the committee on the progress.
Item 2: Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway
Please review the attached request from the Korean War Veterans Association. As noted, a
request from the Board of Supervisors to the Commonwealth Transportation Board is required to
help move this along if the Board sees fit. Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of
Supervisors if the Committee feels it is appropriate.
Item 3: Bicycle and Pedestrian Restriction on Route 37
While many limited access highways do not allow Bicycle and Pedestrian traffic for safety
reasons, Route 37 does not currently have that designation. VDOT has recently received a
request that this restriction be placed on Route 37. In order to take this to the Commonwealth
Transportation Board, VDOT requires letters of support from a number of agencies including the
County. Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors if the Committee
supports the request. Staff has attached the relevant code section and VDOT staff will be on
hand to discuss the background.
Item 4: County Projects Update

sharing agreement approximately two weeks prior to this mailing and has not yet
received feedback.

VDOT staff on May 18, 2016 regarding the potential crossing.
