RE: Response Letter #1 for SUB202000055 Proffit Road Townhomes North — Transportation
Planning
Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your review of the Road plan request for Proffit Road Townhomes North. This letter
contains responses to County comments dated April 29' 2020. Our responses are as follows:
Transportation Planning: For pedestrian interconnectivity provide crosswalk ramps extending
from sidewalk on Road D in front of lot 29; additionally crossing Road A in front of lot 45 to lot
31.
Since this is a public street, we must abide by VDOT requirements for crosswalks. After
revisiting the requirements per VDOT request, we found that the mid -block crossing we
had across Road D from near Lot 29 to Lot 31 was not warranted. Thus, this crossing has
been removed. We have provided crosswalk ramps to cross Road A from Lot 45 to 31 as
you requested. The new layout satisfies VDOT requirements and achieves pedestrian
interconnectivity.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
keane@shimp-en in�g com or by phone at 434-227-5140.
Regards,
