Review # 1
Dear Mr. Langille:

Fax: (804) 7862940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by Collins Engineering, dated 21
February 2022, and offers the following comments:
1. Comments from Traffic Engineering:
a. Please provide copy of signal timing data employed in analysis.
b. Page 36, Table 3: Given the delay output from Synchro, it would have been
prudent to confirm the queue lengths with SimTraffic as they could potentially be
longer.
c. Page 40, Table 7: Roundabouts are to be analyzed with SIDRA per TOSAM
(v2).
d. Pages 105 and 106, Appendix G: Can you please explain why 2027 volumes as
opposed to 2030 volumes are being used for the turn lane warrant analysis? Per
the scoping document, the agreed "Build" year is 2030.
e. Page 107, Appendix H: Can you please provide the VJuST outputs in question?.
f. Per IIM-TE 387.1, "VDOT has established a standard SJR template that should
be used for all SJR reports. " A soft copy has been made available for your
purposes.
2. Has closing the Rte 29 median at Teel Ln been discussed with VDOT beforehand, or is
this submission intended to be that discussion?
3. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113.
