VDOT Monthly Report for April 2006.
Transportation Matters not Listed on the Agenda.
Jim Utterback:
· Slurry seal work in both Albemarle and Greene
counties has been completed. Surface
treatments will begin next week, and some of
the asphalt plant-mix work is occurring at this
time. Route 250 and couple of other secondary
roads taking place now.
· Ms. Teresa Butler left VDOT in the middle of
April taking a position with Fauquier County.
· The I-64 TAMS contract (Turn Key Asset
Management Services) has been let with a start
date in October, 2006.
· There were questions at the last meeting about
the Rio Road/Hillsdale Drive intersection. He
said the question has been sent to the
Culpeper District Engineer.
· There are two right-turn lanes at the Hydraulic
Road/Route 29 intersection, but one can only
turn right on red in the far right-hand lane.
VDOT has looked at eliminating that second
right turn lane and has also spoken to the City
about increasing enforcement at that point. He
has even looked at increasing the size of the
sign.
· Regarding Maxfield Road, there were speed
limit signs in that area but they had been
knocked down. Those signs have been
replaced, and there has been ditching and
machining work in the area. Also, someone
asked about making this a Rural Rustic Road
project, but it is already on the list for regular
gravel road projects. He has heard that the
traffic counts for rustic roads are being
increased from 500 to 1000 and that may
expand the opportunity for the County to do
Clerk: Forward comments to VDOT.
3
rustic road projects. Because the County has
to commit to limiting development on these
roads, there has to be some bureaucratic action
to assure that the nature of a rustic road will be
kept.
· There were some questions about drainage at
Buck Mountain Road and St. George Avenue in
Crozet. VDOT has worked on the ditches and
shoulders to help with that problem.
· He has provided Board members with some
information on the question of revenue sharing
for the Scottsville project.
· The comments received on the Georgetown
Road project are currently being evaluated.
There are some issues which can be
addressed in the near term outside of the
project. A summary of the comments should be
available by the middle of May.
· Mr. Rooker said the Board moved money from
Old Ivy Road to the Georgetown Road project
in order to get a project started. He would like
to take that money and any other money
accumulated and find some project that could
be designed in those cost parameters and get it
going.
· There are a number of actions to look at in the
Secondary Roads plan depending on what
comes out of the Statewide Transportation
budget in the next month or so. The Secretary
of Transportation has forwarded to all Highway
Administrators in the State a list of potential
cuts.
· Southern Railway is looking at the bridge
project on Proffit Road. They project closing
that road on June 12. Mr. Wyant said the fire
department may not be able to provide service
from the new fire station over that bridge. Mr.
Utterback said he has talked with people from
the railroad and they have committed to
replacing the bridge and bringing it back to a
15-ton capacity. Without additional funds, that
is all that can be done at this time. VDOT is
looking at installing a portable traffic light on
Polo Grounds Road to get traffic through the
bridge underpass on that road during
construction on Proffit Road.
· There is a bridge on Route 641 which has been
closed due to maintenance problems and its
weight capacity has been reduced to three
tons. He knows that impacts the response of
fire/rescue providers. He has asked VDOT’s
Bridge Engineer to look at what can be done to
allow the bridge to function for another three to
five years.

Bob Tucker:
· Asked Mr. Utterback if he had any response to
the questions he raised in an E-mail about the
Meadow Creek Parkway. Mr. Utterback said he
has had discussions with the District
Administrator about this project. He
recommends that everybody wait to see what
comes out of the State budget once it is
adopted.
David Wyant:
· Volunteer fire/rescue people have mentioned a
problem with a bridge in the vicinity of Gleco
Mills off of Route 29 South.
· Someone mentioned to him a drainage problem
at the intersection of Huntington and Wakefield
Roads.
· VDOT’s monthly report refers to a speed study
for Route 810. It actually was a request to have
the speed limit lowered.
· He referred to some road patching that took
place after work on the waterline in Crozet. He
asked who checks that work to see if the
contractor has done the work correctly. Mr.
Utterback said VDOT has inspectors who check
on all projects. Often they come up with a list of
things that need to be corrected, and it takes a
number of months before they are completed.
· He mentioned that a road coming off of Foxes
Mountain onto Route 810, and also Blufton
Road in Doylesville, are both in need of
maintenance work.
Sally Thomas:
· Mentioned a conference wh ich VPRT people
will be attending next weekend. She said Mr.
Utterback might also be interested in attending
the conference.
· Planning staff told her that the final site plan for
Faulconer has been filed. That site plan will
undoubtedly impact the intersection at Tilman
Road on Route 250 West. She said there is a
blinking light there now, and there have been
questions as to whether it will become a regular
stop light. Residents on Morgantown Road are
concerned that if it does become a stop light
there will be more cut-through traffic on their
road . She asked that VDOT keep that in mind
when they decide about that stop light.
Lindsay Dorrier:
· He inquired about dust control on Route 712.
Mr. Utterback said that has been done.
· He was asked by a resident of Glenmore if a
stop light could be placed at this entrance on
Route 250. He said he does not know if it is
needed but would like for VDOT to check.
5
Ken Boyd:
· He mentioned a number of pot holes on Polo
Grounds Road.
· He asked that Mr. Utterback add a section to
his monthly report showing Rural Rustic Road
projects, and asked if there is an update on
existing projects. Mr. Juan Wade said staff sent
letters to all of the homeowners on Rocky
Hollow Road, Woods Edge Road and one other
road explaining the process approved by the
Board last year. They were only to contact the
office if they did not approve of, or want, the
project on their road. They have until May 23 to
contact staff. If there are no comments
received, staff will ask the Board in June or July
to approve the project. VDOT is ready to start.
David Slutzky:
· He asked if VDOT uses a set formula for
establishing estimates, and do they recheck
these based on what is actually happening in
the market. Mr. Utterback said there is a
process which is followed, but when there is a
lapse in the project, costs skyrocket. Mr.
Slutzky said he thinks the Board might ask
VDOT to revisit their model for projecting the
right-of-way acquisition costs in light of the fact
that they have been consistently running low.
Second, he thinks the Board could have its staff
take an independent look at the costs of right-
of-way acquisition on larger projects. He asked
Mr. Utterback if he will ask VDOT people what
they plan to do to have that model reflect reality
better. If they don’t have a plan, or choose not
to change the model, he will ask that the Board
ask County staff to look for a simpler way to
more accurately estimate right-of-way
acquisition. Mr. Rooker said he agrees with
what Mr. Slutzky said, but thinks this has to be
done at the State level because every project
has its own peculiarities with respect to right-of-
way. If the State model is coming in low
consistently, they need to revise the model
again. Mr. Utterback said he will ask the State
Right-of-way Engineer this question. Mr.
Utterback said the right-of-way process is much
regulated; it is a very specific process that is
followed to meet Code requirements.
David Benish:
· He said that on April 5, 2006, the Board
discussed bicycle safety and bicyclists’
behavior on the highways. The Board asked
staff to pursue educational efforts through some
of the local pedestrian/bicycle committees. He
said that was discussed with the Community
Mobility Committee and the Rural Areas
6
Transportation Study Committee. They are
talking about disseminating information on the
rules of the roads for cyclists. He said that
discussion has just begun. Mr. Rooker
suggested having a one-sheet insert that could
go into the bicycle route map. He referred to
the new pedestrian crosswalks on Jefferson
Park Avenue in the City and said he would like
for that model to be used on Georgetown Road.
Dennis Rooker:
· He asked if the speed study for Solomon/
Inglewood Roads had been completed. Mr.
Utterback said he will check on that.
· He would find it helpful to get the allocation of
dollars for the various localities in the Culpeper
District for the past four years through the
current SYP to see how Albemarle County is
being funded for primary and secondary roads.
He would also like to have the populations for
these localities shown. Mr. Utterback said the
Secondary Road Funds are allocated through a
formula.
