Review #2
Dear Ms. Kanellopoulos:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 26
May 2020, revised 18 May 2021, and offer the following comments:
Land Use
1. Please mill and overlay to travel lane, please refer to note 4 in WP-2 standard.
2. Mill and overlay will require work to centerline, so flagging operations and lane closures
will be necessary. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work
Area Protection Manual.
3. Landscape easements are not permitted within the right of way. Planting should be
centered 341., off of 8'ft. multiuse asphalt shared path.
If further information is desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right of way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency land Use Section at (434) 422-9399
for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
