Review #2
Dear Ms. Kanellopoulos:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation & Land Use
Section has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 19
February 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. The entrances as shown may not meet Access Management regulations. In particular
corner clearance, shared commercial entrances and inter parcel access standards do not
appear to be met. Furthermore, the County may desire to view Belvedere Blvd., as a
collector road based on planned growth. This would introduce spacing standards.
2. Recommend sidewalk connectivity from Rio road east onto Belvedere Boulevard.
3. Right of Way dedication may be needed on Belvedere Boulevard to accommodate shared
use path and sidewalk.
If further information is desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
Sincerely,
Adam J. N oore, P.E.
