MEMORANDUM
Item 1: Fall Transportation Forum
Staff will provide an update on the progress and planning for the Fall Transportation
Forum.
Item 2: Welltown Road Speed Concerns
Chairman DeHaven has recently received citizen concerns regarding speed, particularly
of trucks on Welltown Road and has requested that the Committee discuss the possibility
of requesting that VDOT conduct a speed study on the roadway to determine if the speed
limits are appropriate.
This item actually coincides with two other recent concerns as well as, ongoing issues
with the Welltown Road Corridor such as the location of the truck restriction area, as well
as safety concerns at the intersection of Welltown Road and Route 11.
Staff is compiling information on all of these issues to aid in the discussion at the
