Board of upervisors

Charlotte ville, VA 22902
Dear Miss Neher:
At the October 7, 1992, Board meeting the Board requested I provide them information on
studies that have been done on the environmental impact of calcium chloride and the
maintenance status of Route 662.
I r viewed Route 662 about a week after the Board meeting. I delayed this review until
a rainst rm occurred to determine if calcium chloride used on this route had created
maintenance problems. My review indicated that gravel was more visible on those areas not
treated ith calcium chloride than on the treated areas. This is to be expected, however,
since th purpose of treating roads with calcium chloride is to retain the fine material
which us ally blows off as dust during dry weather. Both the treated and the non treated
locations appear to be firm. Some of the fine material in the treated areas showed wheel
tracks en I drove over them but no areas of soft base were found. To the layman the
appearance of wheel tracks might indicate the area was soft but in reality the underlying
base was as firm if not firmer than the untreated areas.
Yhile on Route 662 I made a very unscientific stopping test at a number of locations. I
found n locations where I was unable to control my vehicle while stopping. The wheels of
the vehicle easily cut through the fine material on the surface to the larger stone below.
On the treated areas the loose, larger stone sometimes rolled with my stopping wheels. I
do not believe the use of calcium chloride has created a safety hazard at any locations along
Route 662.
Concerning the environmental effects I reviewed studies on file at the Transportation
Research ouncil located here in Charlottesville. The Department currently has no studies of
the environmental effect under way, however, numerous studies have been made over the years
dating b ck to the 1960s and 1970s. All reports I reviewed indicated that problems with salt
affectin the ground water or vegetation along roadways occur only where concentrated run-
off occurs. Numerous examples were cited where run-off from salt storage piles had created
ground ter and vegetation problems on adjacent property. Examples were given where large

concentrations of salt had been used along roads and had then been washed off the surface by
run-off w~ter and directed in concentrated form to a well or water supply. These were the
two basic problems found with use of salt on roadways. On gravel surfaces neither of these
problems are likely to occur. A sign that concentrated run-off was occurring would be dead
vegetation along the path of such concentration. My review of Route 662 indicated no such
dead vegetation. I, therefore, believe that such concern for the effect of our salt use on
the envircnment is unfounded at this time.
The question was also asked as to how often we had applied calcium to Route 662 during
this past year. It appears that calcium was applied to this route on three occasions. Flake
calcium chloride was applied with a chemical spreader on April 16 and July 22. Calcium
chloride mixed with water was applied on September 2. Our normal policy is to apply calcium
twice a jear and respond to individual problems on an as needed basis. Strict adherence to
this pol'cy normally results in numerous complaints about dust especially in years when we
have lon~ periods of dry weather. I believe our application of calcium chloride to 662
during th's year substantially complies with our normal policy.
If tie Board has additional questions concerning this matter, I will be happy to discuss
them at a future Board meeting.

HOUSING STUDY FUNDING PROPOSAL
BILL NITCHMANN SCOTTSVILLE DISTRICT 10/92
THERE ARE MANY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS OUTLINED IN THE
COMMITTEES REPORT. THE ISSUES BELOW NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IF THEY
ARE TO BE ACTED UPON BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR FUNDING IN 1993.
IN EVIEWING ALL OF THE INPUTS BOTH VERBAL AND WRITTEN I WISH TO
PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING,
THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED UPON FUNDING THAT WILL MOST
EXP DITIOUSLY MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON REDUCING THE SUFFERING OF
THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE IN MOST NEED OF HELP TODAY,
MY VERALL RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE UTILIZE AHIP AS THE OVERALL
FAC LITATOR OF THE STRATEGIES DISCUSSED BELOW, THEY HAVE A PROVEN
TRA K RECORD OF DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB IN PROVIDING THE SERVICES
THA THEIR FUNDING PERMITS,
IN EVIEWING STRATEGIES A2 AND
Cl- I RECOMMEND THAT WE MERGE THESE TWO ACTIVITIES INTO ONE.

ADDRESSES THE EDUCATIONAL ISSUES -
ECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE UTILIZE THE PRESENT SCHOOL SYSTEM
ENCING IN 1993 VERSUS 1995 AS THE HOUSING REPORT SUGGESTS. WE
START TODAY TO PROVIDE LIFE SKILLS TRAINING IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
E SKILLS WILL INCLUDE EDUCATING THE STUDENTS IN SUCH AREAS AS
NGS, BALANCING A BUDGET, GENERAL FACTS ABOUT PURCHASING A HOME,
E TO GO IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND
STANCE, AND HOW THE BANKS PLAY A ROLL IN THEIR LIFE.
EGARD TO HOLDING MEETINGS AND PROVIDING HOUSEHOLD FINANCIAL

EVE THAT THERE IS ADEQUATE PRIVATE SECTOR PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT

ensurin that the major concerns or priorities of the Board will be addressed.
attached sheet lists five categories of initiatives: housing, recycling and solid
blic safety, human services and other miscellaneous initiatives. The initiatives are
ed in any prioritized order and, due to the preliminary nature of this discussion,
finalized costs associated with them.
Re lizing the difficulty in trying to prioritize initiatives that have not yet come
the Board, such as the Planning Commission's housing recommendations or the teen
eport, staff is asking only that the Board address the following questions in their
nd discussion of these initiatives:
· Are there any of the proposed initiatives that the Board does not support?
· Are there other Board initiatives that have not been included on this list?
· Are there any limits or restrictions that the Board wishes to set on
the FY 93-94 operating budget initiatives?

REVIEWED BY: /(WI t
BACKGRO
The top'c of FY 93-94 Budget Priorities is being brought to you for discussion at this time
in orde to provide some guidance to staff in the upcoming budget process.
DISCUSS ON:
As some of you may remember, the idea or concept that the Board might wish to set budget
priorit'es or goals prior to the development and finalization of the county Executive's
budget 'n January has been discussed on previous occasions, although no concensus has been
reached on the Board's need or desire to do this.
Similar in concept to setting out a strategic plan for County goals and objectives,
identif ing program priorities early on in the budget process would insure that Board
concern are addressed in the yearly budget preparation. This goal-setting process is not
intende to set expenditure or revenue limits or guidelines, but only pertains to the
discuss'on and setting of priorities for department and community programs and concerns.
Second t staff's concern that the Board may want to discuss this is that the public may also
wish to have earlier input into budget priorities before the County Executive's budget is
present d to the board in March. To provide this opportunity for public input, the public
hearing normally scheduled in March for the County Executive's recommended budget could be
schedul d at the beginning of the budget process in November.
In addi ion, the Board may also wish to discuss the fiscal guidelines for the FY 93-94
budget. Such guidelines have been provided by the Audit Committee in the past.
RECOMME ATION:
If the oard is interested in looking at program priorities for the next budget year, staff
will de elop some options and recommendations for Board discussion at the October meeting.
If the oard is also interested in moving the first public hearing on the budget back from
March t November in order to get public input on program priorities before the recommended
budget's completed, staff will begin to develop the budget schedule with that in mind.
If you have any questions on this issue, please do not hesitate to call me prior to
Wednesd y's meeting.

STATEMENT ON ALBEMARLE COUNTY HOUSING NEEDS
BY ALBEMARLE HOUSING COALITION, NOVEMBER 18, 1992
Honorable David Bowerman, Chair and Members of the
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors
Robert Parrott and Alvin Egbert of the
Albemarle Housing Coalition
Chairman and Members of the Albemarle County Board of
upervisor, tonight as you turn your attention to the community
eeds we would like you to focus on housing ownership,
ental and assisted rental for the very low, low and moderate
.ncome residents of this county.
e came before you last June to strongly endorse your Housing
dvisory Committee's "Housing strategy for Albemarle County".
his coming year is the time for you to continue action on the
eport recommendations and support these with adequate funding.
e congratulate you on your recent rural mobile home decision.
irst and foremost, we ask that you move forward on the
lanning Commission recommendations to hire a full time housing
oordinator for the county. You need someone working every
ay, all day, on the housing problems. The coordinator should
ave a key role directing and coordinating the implementation
f County housing projects. The Commission also has
ecommended as a first priority that you as the Board set up a
ousing Review and Evaluation Committee of citizens as soon as
ossible to examine the process and make recommendations on how
o approach some of the more difficult issues of Section 8,
ousing authorities, land trusts, employee housing assistance.
e also support the Planning Commissions recommendations and
ask you to increase funding for emergency repairs and build
A IP's capacity so they can do an average of 50 house
r habiliations each year.
st and but not least, the Planning Commission has asked that
0,000 be put into a revolving loan fund for downpayment and
osing costs for first-time homebuyer's in the county. They
ve heard testimony from the banks that this type of fund
kes the difference for families who can afford to make the
nthly payment, but lack cash for downpayment and closing
sts. The banks know from utilizing the City of
(over)
Charlottesville's program that this is effective. Typically,
these loans would be secured by a second deed of trust
repayable over a short period of time, say five years.
The Planning Commission is also beginning to examine ways to
address the need for rental and assisted rental housing. Not
everyone can own a home. We must not forget those who have the
greatest needs, the least resources and the smallest voice
because they are preoccupied by keeping food on the table and a
roof over their heads. The county needs to be the catalyst for
private sector provision of affordable housing to low-income
families.
Some 700 families are on the County's waiting lists for
section 8 assistance. They are paying more than 1/3 of their
income for shelter, sometimes more than 1/2 their income, they
live in substandard and overcrowded conditions, sometimes
without indoor water, bathrooms and wood floors in Albemarle
County. They are our neighbors, they need a helping hand,
their need is great, we cannot pass them and their children by.
In summary, we ask that you, the Board of Supervisors:
(1) Hire a full time housing coordinator for the county and
appoint the citizen Housing Review and Evaluation Committee;
(2) Address the housing problems of the most needy first -
assisted rental and emergency repairs;
(3) Establish revolving loan fund for downpayments
and closing cost assistance.
We thank you for your kind consideration and ask that you lead
the way to eliminating today's housing problems in Albemarle
County.

F om: League of Women Voters
Public Comment on Community Needs and Priorities for the Fiscal Year 1993-94
Operating Budget
e League is pleased that the Board of Supervisors is providing individuals and community
o ganizations with this opportunity to speak out on their concerns so early in the annual bud-
g t process,
e have two categories of concerns to present tonight: one has to do with the public's role in
t e budget process and its use of the documents the process generates; and the second with
a eas of need,
F rst-With an area as large as Albemarle County, it is not easy for some residents to appear
b fore the Board in the evening. You may want to experiment with a call-in or some other
ethod of involving the public,
S cond-As stated in previous years, we find the County's program review report very helpful.
e report can be as useful to the public in understanding budget decisions as it is to County
o ficials, and county and regional agencies in making their decisions,
e League would like to see the County pursue further Objective 4 in last year's report to
" evelop a social data base to assist in identifying needs and services to address needs," We
a ree with the report that such a data base is essential in establishing County priorities, We
a 0 believe that the data base needs to be built on the already existing regional one and that
aximum cooperation should take place to avoid duplicating costs of purchasing and develop-
data, The availability of a social data base will not only assist County officials in evaluating
dgetary and programmatic needs, the information will provide a basis for the public to
u derstand the County's response to such needs,
ch a data base also can help the County develop more of a program approach to budget-
i-providing elected decision makers with a range of service levels to choose from while
gi 'ng staff flexibility to make economies in meeting those levels, The League believes that
t 's approach would make it possible to transfer budget resources effectively in response to
t Board's policies and to changing priorities.
over
....,a nonya tisan organization aeaicatea to tne yromotion of informea ana active yarticipation of citizens in government. "
As to budget content-The League supports the Board of Supervisors' efforts to have studies
available to them that will help the Board make decisions on growth and change in the next
few years. We think that such efforts are a high enough priority to warrant adequate staffing,
In the development of these studies and projecting future staffing needs, we urge the County to
examine its staff and salary structure, with an eye to obtaining and retaining valuable staff
expertise for the long range.
Growth management, watershed management, and housing are three areas where we believe
staff experience and expertise will be essential in the future. This is also an appropriate time
for pledging action on an affirmative action plan to assure that the County will have a repre-
sentative staff in higher levels of management.
Finally, 1993-94 budget decisions can signal that the County has a strong resolve to expand its
efforts to see that safe, sanitary and affordable housing will be available in locations where it is
needed. The County needs to fund the two staffing positions recommended in the Housing
Advisory Committee Report, either in-house or through the Planning District Commission,
One staff person would be responsible for policy and program development and the second for
program implementation. Each of these responsibilities requires very different skills and
training. In addition, an inexpensive, but equally important County step is the appointment of a
citizens advisory committee to assure community input in the on-going housing effort, We also
urge the County to move ahead with substantive aid to encourage affordable rental as well as
owner-occupied housing in the growth areas. The Planning Commission's high priority recom-
mendations provide a start.
Thank you.

PuBLIC COMMENT ON COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PRIORITIES:
MERIWETHER LEWIS SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE
TO THE ALBEMARLE COUNTY BoARD OF SUPERVISORS
NOVEMBER 18, 1992
Seven months ago after two years of preliminary work the School
Improvement Program committee of Meriwether Lewis Elementary School
authorized a design team of parents, teachers and community members to
study student/teacher ratio and make a proposal for our school. We began
by studying the national research. What we found was a series of studies
from 1989 and 1990 that overview, synthesize and criticize the research of
the previous decade.
That research does not show a significant improvement in student
achievement as measured by standard achievement test scores unless the
size of a class is reduced to one to one or at most one to three tutoring,
However, these same studies did show that when the student/teacher ratio,
and by that we mean real class size and not figuring in all the adults in the
building, is reduced to numbers varying from 15 to 22 the following re-
sulted:
1. Teachers' morale is better, They like their students better, have
more time to plan and are more satisfied with their performance as
teachers,
2, There is an improvement of teacher/student interactions, allowing
for more individual attention. Teachers ask more probing questions
and are willing to wait longer for students to discover the answers,
3. Students' self esteem is higher and they are more attentive in
class.
These are valuable differences and researchers wondered why the
studies didn't have more dramatic results, Partially in answer they found that
in past studies there was hardly any change in teaching strategies to take
advantage of the smaller class sizes, Secondly and more importantly they
question the appropriateness of current achievement test scores as the
criteria for success, They probably do not assess the achievement of stu-
dents in acquiring higher level thinking and reasoning skills. It might have
benefited to compare the class size in elementary school with achievement
in high school.
..
As a committee our concern was to find the best learning environ-
ment for all the students including the full spectrum of children of different
and changing abilities, We were looking for the appropriate teacher/student
ratio enabling teachers to become sensitive to individual children's strengths,
needs and interests and to be able to respond instructionally.
The changes observed in the previous studies are ones that we want
to encourage in our classrooms and coupled with strong teacher training we
believe will result in an excellent learning environment. We surveyed sepa-
rately the teachers, the students and the parents of the Meriwether Lewis
school community to try to determine the student/teacher ratio in this
school with which learning is maximized for every student.
The results of our survey showed that parents in general want a more
dramatic reduction in class size to approximately 15 to one, Students this
year are pleased with the sizes of their classes which average 20 to 1, The
Meriwether Lewis teachers expressed that 16 -20 students is their ideal
range for class size, With 20 students or fewer they are best able to function
as teachers rather than managers of a classroom,
The SIP Committee of Meriwether Lewis Elementary School ap-
plauds the support that our county supervisors have given to lowering our
student/teacher ratio in Albemarle County to date. We have the best ratio
this year that we've had in years, And there is an achievable goal to reach.
We urge you to continue the support to the school board for maintaining at
most 20 children in every elementary classroom.
Thank you very much,

Roger W. O'Dell, Chairperson, Ch.A,B.A,
November 18, 1992
Proposal for Establishing the Position of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Coordinator in the
1993-94 Operating Budget
We are pleased to have this opportunity, as a public service organization in Charlottesville and
Alben arle County representing the interests of active and latent bicyclists, to offer comments on the need for
inclus on of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Program in the County's 1993-94 Operating Budget,
The F ~tionale
In the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan for the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, which the
Board of Supervisors adopted on July 17, 1991, the County proposed to address the need for:
1) Providing bicycling educational programs to all age groups,
2) Developing bikeway facilities,
3) Incorporating accomodations for bicycle travel as part of road improvements,
4) Providing annual funding in the Capital Improvements Program for bikeway improvements,
5) Cooperating with the City and the University in addressing the need for accomodating bicycle
travel.
6) Utilizing State and Federal funds for construction of bicycle facilities,
Last year, Congress enacted the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (known by its
acron' m, ISTEA), which requires every state to establish the position of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation
Coord natoL While localities are not required to do so, many cities and counties across the Nation are also
establishing such positions; this puts them in a better posture for taking full advantage of the funding authorized
under IISTEA,
Although the availability of new transportation funds provides the impetus for creating these roles in
local ~ overnment, the opportunity to provide a valuable service to its citizens and visitors should be seen as the
primal y motivating factor, Benefits include: education and awareness, safer roads and rights-of-way, improved
access greater recreational opportunities, reduced friction between motorists and bicyclists or pedestrians,
interg< vernmental cooperation and coordination, enhanced environment to promote tourism, and so forth,
We would be pleased to confer with the appropriate people in order to discuss this idea in greater
detail. Thank-you,
I

MEMORANDUM
TO: Albemarle County Board of Supervisors r
FROM: Robert W. Tucker, Jr. , County Executive ~
DATE: November 12, 1992
RE: Regional Solid Waste Authority Proposal
is a memorandum from Ms. Nancy K. O'Brien, Executive
D'rector of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, and
a memorandum to TJPDC regarding a proposed draft for a Regional
S lid Waste Authority, i. e., expanding the jurisdiction of the
R.vanna Solid Waste Authority. Ms. O'Brien has asked, on behalf of
t e TJPDC, for any comments that area local governments would like
t make regarding this proposal and also to designate
r presentatives from Albemarle County to serve on a task force to
d velop a proposed Regional Solid Waste Authority agreement.
r appointees on this task force could be comprised of our
presentatives serving on the Thomas Jefferson Planning District
mmission or the Chairman of the Board and a member of. staff or
aff members entirely. I believe that two individuals from our
cality would be adequate representation, however, I feel this
sue is important enough that at least one Board member
presentative should be included in our delegation from Albemarle.

PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH A REGIONAL SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY
The regional solid waste plan recommended a regional
rity for the management of the solid waste stream. Three
ities are reaching the limit of their present landfill capacity.
ocalities are concerned about the costs associated with new
ills, monitoring, and possible clean up in the future. The
na Solid Waste Authority was formed by Charlottesville and
arle to manage solid waste for the two jurisdictions. The PDC
has een asked to develop a draft document for consideration by the
Comm.ssion and the group of chairmen and administrators who have met
to d.scuss the possibility of creating an authority.
MENT OF INTENT: The purpose of this document is to set forth a
nal solid waste authority which will serve interested localities
e Thomas Jefferson Planning District. The member localities
de the City of Charlottesville, and the Counties of Albemarle,
nna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.
STRU TURE BOARD MEMBERSHIP: The link between the Rivanna Water and
Sewe Authorityand,the Rivanna Solid Waste, Authority exists to
prov.de efficient administrative support. Enlarging the Authority
woul diminish the need for those links as an authority covering a
larg r area and population would generate a need for a more focused
over ight. It is also .felt that a new authority would "belong" to the
juri dictions forming' it, giving the new organization stronger local
supp rt.
RECOMMENDATION #1
It is recommended that a new authority be formed to serve the
jurisdictions of the planning district. Should the number of
member jurisdictions be less than four, it is recommended that
Rivanna be expanded.
Loca
an a
auth
with
for
step
control or accountability to the voters is always an issue when
thority is formed since, as a separate legal entity, the
rity may borrow, sell bonds, charge fees, and develop facilities
ut local approval. While local approval may still be required
ecisions such as zoning, the accountability to the voters is one
removed from the electoral process.
RECOMMENDATION. #2
It is recommended the membership of the new authority be balanced
between rural and urban interest localities. This would result
in a board of eight (8) or sixteen (16) members if all localities
joined the authority. Albemarle and Charlottesville would each
~ c~ 1 C/zdAI-MtdU. J JbrMvtUl :' ~f;; ! fKPrU- C~#. L~ C~, Ndun:'~
have two (2) or four (4); Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson
would each have one (1) or two (2) representatives. A system of
alternates could be included to insure representation from each
locality at all meetings should the lesser number be chosen.
RECOMMENDATION #3 I
Appointment to the Authority Board would be by the local
governing body; each governing body would appoint at least one
local elected official to the Board.
SCOPE OF MANAGEMENT: It is possible to argue that the management
should include the entire waste stream from the curb to the ultimate
disposal facility. Rivanna management is limited to the landfill and
transfer stations. Collection is considered a local issue. Recycling
is managed by the Authority with a drop-off center on McIntire Road,
and a pilot program at the landfill. The city-run recycling curbside
co-mingled collection program, combined with a sticker fee for each
waste container, has significantly decreased the amount of waste that
is landfilled. A feasibility study of regional recycling is due
momentarily. Rivanna was charged by the member localities to evaluate
new technologies. Given the need to organize, to hire new staff/'to
develop an education program, and to study the feasibility of regional
recycling, Rivanna has had limited time to do so, particularly in
light of the fact the life span of the landfill has lengthened due to
the effectiveness of the recycling. The planned Keene transfer
station will be have on-site management by Rivanna.
RECOMMENDATION #4
The scope of management for the new authority should include:<
curb-side co-mingled' collection of recyclablesin the urban>area;.
landfill operation, recycling marketing, transfer stations, and
evaluation of new technologies., .
RECOMMENDATION' #5
The landfill should not accept unseparated solid waste;
recyclables should be removed from the waste disposal stream and
placed in the recycling stream.
RECOMMENDATION 16
The Authority should form a partnership with the area Economic
Development programs to bring in users of recyclable in the
production process.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: As governmental programs become bigger and
cover a greater area, it is important to maintain a link with the
citizens. A large number of citizens now participate in various
groups interested in recycling. Litter control committees exist in
every locality. A role for this group would maintain the vigor needed
to keep looking at better ways to reach a goal of efficient waste
management. An important role this group fills is education. In
addition, staff in most of the localities have built a body of
experience and knowledge which is vital to the goal of efficient
management.
2
RECOMMENDATION #7
Two advisory committees should be formed: a citizens advisory
committee and a technical committee. The citizens advisory
committee would include a coordination of the litter control
programs, currently facilitated by the PDC. The technical
advisory committee would include local engineers, public works
directors, and operators.
STAF~ SUMMARY:
The contents of this memo are a place to start the discussion of
incl~ding all of the localities under one solid waste management
authprity. Issues such as items 5 through 8 in the issues memo need
more in-depth study before discussion can take place.
The Commission needs to decide who should be at the table to discuss a
new pr revised organizational response to solid waste management. Is
this a role the Commission wants to pursue? Should the topic be
dele~ated to a committee of Board Chairmen, the Mayor, the Chief
Admihistrative Officers, the Rivanna Chairman, and Executive Director
whicp has had two meetings and which prompted this review by the PDC?

Re: Request for Voluntary Early Retirement Program
Attached please find a request for participation in the
unty's Voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Program from Betty
wers, Finance Department, effective January, 1993. While the
licy governing this program requires application by December 1
r benefits to become effective with the new fiscal year, the
tal cost of benefits for the remainder of this year is small
d can be absorbed within existing budget allocations.
Due to Betty Bowers' dedicated service to Albemarle County
r the past twelve years, it is recommended that her request for
rly retirement be granted effective January, 1993. Your
mitting this request to the Board of Supervisors for approval
ld be sincerely appreciated.

sidewalks on u.s. 29 North
s some of you are aware, the Route 29 North Business Association
as been discussing the provision of sidewalks along Route 29 North
ue to the imminent construction and widening of that facility.
he Business Association feels that sidewalks would be a benefit to
he commercial operation and improve business activity for
edestrians along this roadway.
enator Ed Robb, on behalf of this business group, has discussed
he matter with Mr. Tom Farley, VDoT District Engineer in Culpeper,
nd Mr. Farley indicates that VDoT would be willing to develop a
tudy regarding sidewalks along 29 North, provided the County of
lbemarle requested such study. The scope of this study would
nalyze the various land uses along Route 29 N., estimate.potential
edestrian traffic and determine whether sidewalks would be
easible. The cost of sidewalks along both sides of u.s. 29 N.
rom the city limits to the South Rivanna River is estimated by
DoT to be approximately $200,000.
n a related matter, the MPO Technical Commi ttee has recently
ecommended to the MPO that they be able to study and recommend
rban design criteria, landscaping proposals and sidewalk potential
long Route 29 N. Based upon this information, I would recommend
hat we request from VDoT the sidewalk study described above.

Alvin Edwards. Since Marshall Pryor is a County resident, I

Please let me know as soon as you have named the
County's representatives so a meeting of the committee can be
convened.
Sincerely yours,
