E.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: October 23, 2018 Resolution supporting improvements to Interstate 81 Richard Caywood Assistant County Administrator APPROVED BY: Thomas C. Gates County Administrator ISSUE: Resolution supporting Virginia Department of Transportations' (VDOT's) efforts to identify, fund and construct improvements to 1-81 in order to enhance safety and commerce and mitigate congestion within the Roanoke Valley and the entire corridor. BACKGROUND: Senate Bill 971 approved by the General Assembly and enacted into law in 2018 directed the Virginia Department of Transportation and the Department of Rail and Public Transportation to identify targeted improvements and funding mechanisms to address critical needs along the 1-81 Corridor. DISCUSSION: For many years, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors has supported improvements to 1-81 in the Roanoke Valley. Traffic volumes along the 1-81 within Roanoke County are among the highest on the entire 325 mile long corridor. This coupled with the effects of terrain in the Roanoke Valley and the high percentage of truck traffic give the portion of 1-81 in Roanoke County the highest Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) counts on the entire corridor. Passenger Car Equivalent calculations convert truck traffic to car traffic in order to compare segments of roadway that carry differing volumes of truck traffic across varying terrain so that direct comparisons can be made. Page 1 of 2 Currently 1-81 carries 42% of all the state-wide interstate truck traffic in Virginia, which equates to almost 12 million trucks a year traversing the corridor. 1-81 also has the highest proportion of incident related delay of any interstate in the Commonwealth with 51% of all delay related to incidents. Approximately 30 crashes per year take over 6 hours to clear and restore normal traffic flow. VDOT is proposing 33 improvements on 1-81 in its Salem District which includes Roanoke County. These projects are estimated to cost $1.6 billion. Potential projects will be prioritized based on benefit / cost ratios, safety, congestion and availability of funding. The proposed resolution implores the Virginia General Assembly / VDOT to develop both 1-81 improvements and appropriate funding sources to support those improvements. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this item has no fiscal impact. Page 2 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON OCTOBER 23, 2018 RESOLUTION SUPPORTING IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERSTATE 81 WHEREAS, the 2018 Virginia General Assembly directed the Commonwealth Transportation Board to develop and adopt an Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Plan and evaluate financing options for Interstate 81 corridor improvements; and WHEREAS, data from the Virginia Department of Transportation shows that Interstate 81 has the highest proportion of incident delay compared to all other Virginia interstates, and the loss of one lane leads to a 65 percent reduction in highway capacity; and WHEREAS, Interstate 81 is critical to the economic vitality of Western Virginia, carrying $312 billion in goods each year; and WHEREAS, the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization (RVTPO) recently approved a "Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth," which stated that completion of widening and improving 1-81, between the Roanoke and New River Valleys (Exit 150 to Exit 118), was a priority for the local governments in the RVTPO service area. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that following the completion of the 1-81 Corridor Improvement Plan and its approval by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, Roanoke County urges the General Assembly to consider solutions to support improvements to Interstate 81 through designated funding, which would specifically benefit the 1-81 Corridor region.

E.2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: October 23, 2018 Resolution supporting the Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth (TED Study) SUBMITTED BY: Philip Thompson Acting Director of Planning APPROVED BY: Thomas C. Gates County Administrator ISSUE: On April 26, 2018, the Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization approved the Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Growth (TED Study). This item would affirm Roanoke County's support for the project priorities identified in this study. The Board of Supervisors was briefed on this issue by Regional Commission Executive Director Wayne Strickland on August 28, 2018. The TED Study was also referenced in the Board's Legislative Agenda, which was approved on October 9, 2018. BACKGROUND: In April 2017, the RVTPO directed Regional Commission staff to hire a consultant to develop a regional study on transportation project priorities to advance regional economic development goals. Staff was also directed to form a steering committee to guide the study's development. The steering committee consisted of local business leaders as well as local transportation officials. The final report, known as the TED Study, was adopted by the RVTPO on April 26, 2018. DISCUSSION: The TED Study identified four (4) overarching transportation objectives: i. Improve Connectivity between the Roanoke Valley and the New River Valley Page 1 of 2 ii. Improve Connectivity between the Roanoke Valley and the Lynchburg area iii. Improve Connectivity from Botetourt and Franklin Counties to the central Roanoke Valley localities iv. Improve Mobility within Urban Developments Areas (UDAs) and Designated Growth Areas (DGAs) Within Roanoke County, several specific projects have been identified including: 1) Widening 1-81 from four (4) to six (6) lanes between Exits 140 and 141 2) Widening 1-81 from four (4) to six (60 lanes between Exits 137 and 140 3) Construct a diverging diamond interchange at Route 419 / 220 4) Reconstruct the 1-581 / Peters Creek Rd. Interchange 5) Complete the Roanoke River Greenway, followed by the Phase 11 Greenways, including several projects within Roanoke County The TED Study also includes a number of projects not located within Roanoke County that are of particular interest to the County including: 1) Widening 1-81 Southbound from two (2) to three (3) lanes between Exit 150 and the Truck Weigh Station 2) Reconstruct US 460 between 11th Street NE and Guss Nicks Blvd 3) Completion of the Smart Road and the creation of a new interchange on 1-81 to decrease travel time between the Roanoke Valley and the New River Valley FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this item has no fiscal impact on Roanoke County. Individual project applications that include a local funding match are considered by the Board of Supervisors on a project -by -project basis. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this item.

This study addresses the following goals: • Improve understanding of alignment between regional transportation and economic development goals • Identify regional transportation needs including previously documented needs, as well as additional or refined needs • Develop a regional economic profile to highlight economic trends and conditions in the region, together with an identification of challenges, strengths, and potential opportunities • Identify a small number of key transportation projects that merit a concerted push from the region based on their ability to advance regional economic development objectives During the same period as this study, RVTPO engaged Transportation for America (T4America) in technical assistance on transportation performance management in order to successfully meet changing federal performance management requirements and use performance measures to advance regional goals. This study and the T4America technical assistance effort coincided at two workshops on November 29, 2017 and March 13, 2018 (Table 1). Study Approach Table 1 outlines the key deliverables and stakeholder engagement activities undertaken as part of the study process. The study was organized in five phases and was grounded in the RVTPO's adopted Framework for Prioritization, shown in Figure 1. Transportation needs—defined as improvements necessary for the region to maintain its current economy and spur sustainable new economic growth—underlie all subsequent identification of priorities, solutions, and projects. To develop and refine priorities, key input was provided by (1) the project steering committee, (2) regional economic development stakeholders, (3) the Roanoke Regional Chamber, and (4) the TPO's Policy Board. Key findings of each phase of the study are summarized in the following section. The full stand-alone deliverables of the study are also included as part of this package: Technical Memorandum 1, Technical Memorandum 2, and the Public Information Brochure on Transportation Priorities developed to assist the region in educating residents, stakeholders, and policy -makers. Economic Development Research Group, Inc.

Economic Development Research Group, Inc. Page 2 Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth Figure 1 RVTPO Framework for Prioritization Key Findings Transportation and Economic Development Goals Transportation infrastructure and system performance are critical to economic development. Businesses depend on access via the transportation system to workers and material inputs. They also rely on transportation to move goods along a supply chain to customers. Costs and reliability of transportation affect a business's "bottom line." Market access enabled by transportation affects the quality of labor or suppliers reachable by a business. Moreover, the efficiency of company operations can also be influenced by the effect of greater market reach enabled by transportation on productivity, enabling greater output for a given unit of input. Both the Commonwealth of Virginia, statewide, and the Roanoke region therefore apply an economic development lens to transportation planning and prioritization. Virginia's long-range transportation planning process, VTrans 2040, asked how transportation can help in attracting and retaining the best workforce as well as help support freight that is key to the ability of Virginia businesses to operate and sell their goods to outside markets. Similarly, existing planning documents in the Roanoke region show an alignment of transportation and economic development goals. These goals, as encapsulated in the region's most recent long-range transportation plan (LRTP), Vision 2040, and in the recently adopted Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) 2017Annual Update center around four key areas: • Connectivity: ensuring adequate connectivity both internally within the region and to outside markets, to support opportunities for people to access jobs, services, and activity centers, and to further facilitate the growth of high -wage industry clusters. • Competitiveness: focusing on how well the transportation system supports business, addressing specific sectors like tourism, and focusing on a diverse business base that includes both large employers and entrepreneurial activity. Economic Development Research Group, Inc. Page 3 Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth • Maintenance: the mandate to think as a region about long term care of the system as well as how to get the most value from the assets the region already has. • Sustainability: recognizing the ample natural and cultural resources in the region and seeking to align transportation and economic development strategies to keep the region and its growth sustainable in the long run. Building from an Understanding of Transportation Needs VTrans 2040 defined a need as, "[T]he gap between the transportation system in place currently that serves the current industries in a region, and the future transportation system needed to serve the desired future economy in the region." This high-level concept of need can be further broken down into three components: 1. Maintain what is working well (requires an understanding of the current ways in which the economy of the region relies on transportation) 2. Improve existing elements that are essential but not working well (as identified through analysis of performance relative to standards of acceptability) 3. Sustainably support economic growth (based on an evaluation of emerging needs and a shared vision of the desired regional economic future) In looking to define key regional needs, it helps to build on those that have already been identified. At the state level, the VTrans 2040 Regional Needs Profile for the Roanoke Region' identified a need for more walkable and bike -able places in the region, particularly in activity centers. It also points to a need for reliability in major highway corridors as well as ways to better manage and get out ahead of congestion. The needs assessment recognized that the region is closely linked to others such as Lynchburg and Blacksburg/Christiansburg. From a multimodal perspective, the profile defines a need to strengthen the level of transit accessibility at and between major activity centers and addresses the multimodal opportunities presented by the new Amtrak service. Finally, the profile points to targeting local bottlenecks where they do occur. RVTPO's Vision 2040 plan has addressed needs from many different perspectives, but two stand out as relating to economic development: First is the identification of areas of emphasis within the Congestion Management Plan (CMP). This identification process addresses the notion of "Improving existing elements that are essential but not working well," introduced above. Figure 2 shows the top 10 CMP Areas of Emphasis. Vision 2040 also introduced multimodal districts and centers in the region as a way of targeting the planning and implementation of integrated multi -modal transportation systems. This addresses the approach of "sustainably supporting economic growth." Table 2 summarizes the characteristics of multimodal districts and centers. These designations represent a way of recognizing locations where there is already potential for more modal balance and to build on that. The Vision 2040 plan also noted there is significant overlap between these different types of focus areas or identification of needs. In these areas of overlap, strategies aimed at meeting the need for greater modal options can yield further benefits by assisting in congestion mitigation. http://www.vtrans.org/resources/vmtp oct2015/DRAFT RoanokeNeedsProfile 10 02 15.pdf Economic Development Research Group, Inc.

Page 5 Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth Regional Economic Context This study assembled information on the Roanoke Region, addressing (1) economic and demographic, and labor force trends; (2) key industries; (3) human capital, innovation, and livability; and (4) transportation conditions. While full detail can be found in Technical Memorandum 2, the data suggest the following observations about the region's economic context and competitive advantages and disadvantages: • While the region is growing and has made meaningful gains in prosperity, it is still lagging Virginia and the nation with regard to certain indicators of overall economic development, including young adult population growth. • The largest employment sectors in the region are: Health Care and Social Assistance, Government, Retail, Manufacturing, and Accommodation and Food Services. Manufacturing is key to bringing outside money into the economy, as are the sub -portions of Retail and Accommodations and Food Services that support tourism activity. • The Roanoke region is competitive in several industry clusters, including: Transportation & Logistics; Electrical Equipment, Appliance & Component Manufacturing; Glass & Ceramics; Biomedical/Biotechnical (Life Sciences); Transportation Equipment Manufacturing; Mining; Chemicals & Chemical Based Products; Forest & Wood Products. • One of the primary challenges facing the region is human capital—both in scale of the available workforce and in educational attainment. The region has struggled with attracting and retaining young people. Transportation can play a supporting role in addressing this challenge as there is growing evidence that young professionals (and to some extent retirees as well) are seeking "urban -like" communities that are more supportive of transit, walking, and biking. • While the region still lags according to various indicators of innovation and entrepreneurship, there are positive signs of changes in their realm, including a rapid increase in recent years in venture capital investment in the Roanoke metro area. • The Roanoke region competes well with other locations in terms of cost of living, which is a major component of livability. • The region currently benefits from relatively low levels of congestion. However, there is a need to ensure that future growth does not erode this strength—by planning "for a future with mixed uses and multiple modes." • Connectivity to surrounding regions, particularly the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area, is key to the continued competitiveness of the region and may require targeted improvement strategies. Amtrak passenger rail service is a new strength for the region that may present new opportunities. The region's growing tourism industry also presents new opportunities for strengthening the economy. • The region is faced with a planning paradigm in which fiscal limitations mean very few large- scale transportation projects are likely to be built in the future, but big -picture regional decision making is nevertheless increasingly key to success. This points to transportation strategies that Economic Development Research Group, Inc. Page 6 Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth focus on key corridors or forms of connectivity as a framework within which incremental improvements can be made over time. Transportation Priorities From an understanding of the region's strategic goals, transportation needs, and economic context, and with extensive input from regional stakeholders, the Roanoke regional priority needs shown in Figure 3 were identified as being key to the long-term economic development of the area. Figure 3 Roanoke Regional Transportation Priorities Each of these needs can be addressed through a variety of strategies, identified based on existing regional planning as well as specific suggestions from the project steering committee. Furthermore, specific implementation proposals for the identified strategies were collected in the form of "projects" or "studies." These represent incremental actionable items that address the overall RVTPO priorities. The fourth section of this report, "Roanoke Region Transportation Priorities for Economic Development and Growth," provides full detail on proposed strategies and projects. The RVTPO and its planning partners are committed to advancing these as part of ongoing regional prioritization. The outcome of this study, therefore, is a "living document" with needs, solutions, and individual projects to be further refined on an ongoing basis as part of the RVTPO's planning process. Performance Measurement Moving Forward Moving forward, RVTPO and its planning partners can further refine and advance regional transportation priorities through performance management. Specifically, the use of performance measures and related tools and data can help to: Economic Development Research Group, Inc. Page 7 Regional Study on Transportation Project Prioritization for Economic Development and Growth • Further identify project opportunities that address identified needs. For example, VDOT's alternative intersections tool (VJuST) may be used to identify innovative intersection and interchange configurations to be evaluated for further study, analysis, and design. • Communicating the region's needs and the benefits of proposed investments to build buy - in and support among elected leaders, other decision -makers, and the public. • Strengthen the prioritization process through further incorporation of existing data and identification of any specific data gaps. As the region works towards the establishment of performance measures, RVTPO can consider measures focused on the region's economic vitality. To weigh the relative impacts of projects on the region's economy, RVTPO could consider a range of measures beyond congestion -related metrics that can be used to relate transportation projects to economic development outcomes. For example, some traditional indicators of business efficiency include travel time or operating costs accruing for freight or business travel. More sophisticated measures may include addressing issues of reliability improvements, changes in multimodal accessibility, and changes in intermodal connectivity. In addition, RVTPO may wish to consider measures related to broader issues of business attraction/retention and livability, such as indicators of alignment with existing economic development plans or the quality of pedestrian and bicycle amenities. Some regions and states specifically allocate points to projects that support economically disadvantaged communities, specific target industries, or locations where a region wishes to support reinvestment and growth. Similarly, if RVTPO determines that tourism is important to the regional economy, the region might focus on developing a measure that captures access to recreational and cultural destinations. Measures of accessibility to destination are some of the most promising economic measures currently in use among leading transportation agencies. From the perspectives of businesses, access measures that have been shown to relate to firm productivity include: (a) the size of the labor market with access to the firm's site, and (b) the level of access to key passenger freight and intermodal facilities such as airports, intermodal rail facilities, and seaports.' A growing number of transportation agencies are implementing measures of accessibility, including VDOT. Some agencies also use accessibility metrics along with other performance indicators such as travel time and operating costs savings as inputs to subsequent economic impact modeling, based on empirically observed relationships between transportation conditions and industry growth.' Additional detailed recommendations on how to align performance measures with economic development goals are included in the RVTPO Performance Management Recommendations Report (submitted separately).

We presented and discussed these findings at a November 29, 2017 stakeholder workshop and steering committee meeting in Roanoke. Also included is a summary of key meeting outcomes. The memo is structured into two parts: • Part I summarizes the morning discussion at the stakeholder workshop which focused on the relationship between transportation and economic development, and the alignment between existing regional transportation and economic development goals. • Part II summarizes the afternoon presentation and discussion at the steering committee meeting, which focused on transportation needs (documented and undocumented). The Appendix contains tables listing the short and medium-term unconstrained Vision 2040 projects by mode. PART I — TRANSPORTATION & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT We reviewed the following questions with the stakeholders that attended the Transportation for America (T4A) workshop on November 29, 2017: • How are transportation investment and economic development related? • What are the Roanoke Valley's economic development goals? • What are the Roanoke Valley's transportation investment goals? • Where do the goals align? Transportation and Economic Development Ms. Naomi Stein of EDR Group shared the relationship between transportation and economic development, as shown in Figure 1. To produce goods and services, businesses need workers and material inputs—whether that's office paper or car parts. Their access to these inputs depends on the transportation system. Similarly, transportation is necessary to move goods along a supply chain through intermediate stages such as wholesale and distribution to the point of consumption by customers. Costs and reliability of the transportation system at points along this process affect a company's "bottom line" directly. Transportation can also affect the quality of labor or suppliers that a company can reach. Moreover, the efficiency of company operations can also be influenced by agglomeration economies wherein greater Economic Development Research Group, Inc. 155 Federal Street, Suite 600, Boston, MA 02110 USA Telephone +1.617.338.6775 0 FAX +1.617.338.1174 0 www.edrgroup.com January 16, 2018 Page 2 market reach enabled by transportation allows for higher productivity (greater output for a given unit of input). Figure 1 The Role of Transportation in the Economy PassengerTranspnrtation Roles t d d d I r d Freight Transportation Roles 1013, EDR Group Ms. Stein also reminded the group of the explicitly economic perspective adopted by Virginia's Office of Intermodal Planning and Investment (OIPI) in the VTrans 2040 Plan. As shown in Figure 2, the Commonwealth's long-range multimodal transportation plan approaches transportation needs by asking how transportation can help in attracting and retaining the best workforce as well as help support freight that is key to the ability of Virginia businesses to operate and sell their goods to outside markets. Figure 2 VTrans 2040 Economic Perspective' PLOCA2040 rans L+GLOBAL +MOB1LE Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Goals Ms. Stein then provided an overview of the goals developed by the Roanoke region in the recently adopted Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) 2017 Annual Update (shown in Table 1). The region seeks to diversify its economic base, develop, and maintain a skilled workforce, and ensure infrastructure (including transportation) is adequate to http://w\/vw.vtrans204O.com/ January 16, 2018 Page 3 facilitate growth and trade. The CEDS goals also recognize the value of the region's existing strengths and defines a path that builds effectively from these strengths through sustainable growth and redevelopment. Table 1 CEDS Goals' Encourage regional economic vitality through an increasingly diverse base of businesses including entrepreneurial startups and large employers. Develop and maintain a skilled workforce ready to meet the challenges presented by the creative economy. Ensure the region has adequate infrastructure in place to facilitate the growth of higher -wage industry clusters and to ensure connectivity with regions nationally and globally. Project a positive identity for the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Region. Improve the Multimodal Transportation Network of the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Region Seek to maintain and promote the region's natural beauty as well as its cultural amenities, and seek sustainable growth opportunities. Seek to reuse existing underutilized commercial, institutional, and industrial properties and target them for redevelopment. Seek to ensure that the region offers a strong and diverse mix of housing opportunities. Address resiliency through coordination of the Regional Pre -Disaster Mitigation Plan and CEDS. Transportation Goals Transitioning into transportation planning, Ms. Stein presented the goals included in the region's most recent long-range transportation plan: Vision 2040. These goals are organized into five focus areas that also correspond to those included in VTrans 2040, as shown in Table 2. Table 2 Transportation Goals' Invest in a transportation system that supports a robust and diversified economy, enables global competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency, and enhances travel and tourism. Provide opportunities for people to access jobs, services, and activity centers and for businesses to access distribution hubs and the region's workforce. Provide a safe and secure transportation system for all travel modes. Maintain the transportation system in good condition and leverage technology to optimize system performance and operations. ' http://rvarc.org/CEDS 3 http://rvarc.org/transportation/mpo-urban-transportation/long-range-plan/ January 16, 2018 Page 4 Protect the agricultural, natural, historic, and cultural environment; preserve good air quality; minimize stormwater impacts and promote active living through multimodal transportation options. Alignment Ms. Stein presented the findings of EDR Group's review of the alignment between the CEDS and Vision 2040. The review identified four key areas of alignment: connectivity, competitiveness, maintenance, and sustainability (Figure 3). Figure 3 Areas of Alignment Between CEDS and Vision 2040 LRTP Connectivity CEDS The connectivity theme addresses the need to maintain connections within the region and with the broader global economy: • LRTP: "Provide opportunities for people to access jobs, services, and activity centers and for businesses to access distribution hubs and the region's workforce." CEDS: "... facilitate the growth of higher -wage industry clusters and to ensure connectivity with regions nationally and globally." Competitiveness Competitiveness represents a focus in the region on how well the transportation system supports business, addressing specific sectors like tourism, and focusing on a diverse business base: • LRTP: "Invest in a transportation system that supports a robust and diversified economy, enables global competitiveness, productivity, and e icienc and enhances travel and tourism." January 16, 2018 Page 5 • CEDS: "Encourage regional economic vitality through an increasingly diverse base of businesses including entrepreneurial startups and large employers." Maintenance Maintenance refers to the mandate to think as a region about long term care of the system as well as how to get the most value from the assets the region already has: • LRTP: "Maintain the transportation system in good condition and leverage technology to optimize system performance and operations." • CEDS: "Ensure the region has adequate infrastructure in place... Improve the Multimodal Transportation Network of the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Region." Sustainability Finally, the alignment area of sustainability recognizes the ample natural and cultural resources in the region and seeks to align transportation and economic development strategies to keep the region and its growth sustainable in the long run: • LRTP: "Protect the agricultural, natural, historic, and cultural environment; preserve good air quality; minimize stormwater impacts and promote active living through multimodal transportation options." • CEDS: "Seek to maintain and promote the region's natural beauty as well as its cultural amenities, and seek sustainable growth opportunities." PART II - TRANSPORTATION NEEDS The afternoon meeting of the steering committee sought to establish a baseline understanding of regional transportation needs that can support future prioritization of investment, planning, and advocacy efforts. TPO Framework for Prioritization Ms. Stein set the stage for the discussion by showing how transportation needs represent the foundation for the prioritization framework formally adopted by the TPO on February 23, 2017: • Transportation Needs • Priorities • Solutions • Projects • Alignment Review What is a Transportation Need? Ms. Stein introduced the concept of a "transportation need" as that which is necessary for the region to: January 16, 2018 Page 6 1. Maintain its current economy, and 2. Spur sustainable new economic growth. In this same vein, Ms. Stein presented the VTrans 2040 definition used in the statewide needs assessment process: "[T]he gap between the transportation system in place currently that serves the current industries in a region, and the future transportation system needed to serve the desired future economy in the region." The high-level concept of need can then be broken down into three components that help address the types of questions or analysis that can support needs identification: 1. Maintain what is working well (requires an understanding of the current ways in which the economy of the region relies on transportation) 2. Improve existing elements that are essential but not working well (as identified through analysis of performance relative to standards of acceptability) 3. Sustainably support economic growth (based on an evaluation of emerging needs and a shared vision of the desired regional economic future) Build on Previously Identified Needs Ms. Stein also outlined the dual goals of the current study (Figure 4): 1. To build on the foundational understanding of needs already contained in various levels and types of plans in the region, and 2. To consider the implications of an evolving economy to further refine previously identified needs. Figure 4 Two -Fold Approach to Needs' Regional Planning VTrans Vision 040 CEDS Foundational Understanding VTrans 2040 An Evolving Economy OHO Economic Trends that Shape Needs January 16, 2018 Page 7 Table 3 presents the needs identified in the VTrans 2040 Regional Needs Profile for the Roanoke Region. OIPI led an effort to develop and implement a statewide transportation needs assessment process as part of the VTrans 2040 Plan. A key purpose of the needs assessment is to serve as a screen for projects under the HB2 prioritization process. The process assessed transportation needs at three scales: • Corridor of Statewide Significance (COSS) • Regional Networks • Urban Development Areas (UDA) The Regional Networks scale corresponds most directly to the regional perspective of the TPO and is therefore the focus here. Table 3 VTrans Needs: Roanoke Regional Networks A. Walkable/Bikeable Places Enhance regional and inter -regional walkability and bikeability at regional activity centers; in particular, focus on completing the regional greenway network and make last mile connections to existing and future greenways. B. 1-81/US 11 Reliability The 1-81/US 11 corridor and connected facilities serve as a major artery for regional freight and passenger movement. Ensuring reliability on the corridor is paramount to regional economic success. ' Icons created by Alexander Skowalsky and Musmellow from Noun Project 5 http://www.vtrans.org/resources/vmtp oct2015/DRAFT RoanokeNeedsProfile 10 02 15.pdf January 16, 2018 Page 8 C. Regional TDM The Roanoke region includes park -n -ride access and TDM programs and services. However, multiple activity centers and commuter oriented corridors would benefit from TDM programs that can help reduce the number of vehicles on the network and the individual burden of a long or congested Lcommute. i LD. Inter -Regional Network Connectivity Roanoke's economy, and therefore passenger and freight movement, is closely linked to surrounding regions such as Lynchburg and Blacksburg/ Christiansburg. Increasing network connectivity between regions ensures local economic success. E. Regional Mode Choice Multiple activity centers in the region are underserved by transit. Providing multiple connections between major activity centers provides travel choices and improves regional connectivity. In particular, making multimodal connections with future Amtrak service will be key to the success of the region and to the new passenger rail service. F. US 460 Reliability and Bottleneck Relief There aren't major congestion issues in Roanoke, in relation to the rest of Virginia. However, bottlenecks do occur where some of the major arteries in the region converge; particularly relating to the US 460 corridor, parallel rail network, and the downtown and Tanglewood Mall activity centers. Addressing these bottlenecks is key to regional mobility and network fluidity. The needs assessment identified a need for more walkable and bike -able places in the region, particularly in activity centers. It also points to need for reliability on major highway corridors as well as ways to better manage and get out ahead of congestion. The need assessment also recognized that the region is closely linked to others such as Lynchburg and Blacksburg/Christiansburg. From a multimodal perspective, the profile defines a need to strengthen the level of transit accessibility at and between major activity centers and addresses the multimodal opportunities presented by the new Amtrak service. Finally, the profile points to targeting local bottlenecks where they do occur. Vision 2040 Ms. Stein then discussed the TPO's planning work, focusing on two specific types of analysis that have already been done in the region and incorporated into Vision 2040 that point to needs in the region. First is the identification of areas of emphasis within the Congestion Management Plan (CMP). This identification process addresses the notion of "Improving existing elements that are essential but not working well," introduced earlier in the discussion of transportation needs. Figure 5 shows the top 10 CMP Areas of Emphasis. The TPO identified these areas using a methodology that incorporated public input, analysis of google traffic data, an assessment of volume -to -capacity ratios as contained in the regional travel model, and field verification by TPO staff. Vision 2040 also introduced the noteworthy concept designating multimodal districts and centers in the region as a way of targeting the planning and implementation of integrated multi -modal transportation systems. This addresses the previously defined needs approach of "sustainably supporting economic January 16, 2018 Page 9 growth." Table 4 summarizes the characteristics of multimodal districts and centers. These designations represent a way of recognizing locations where there is already potential for more modal balance and to build on that. Figure 6 shows the currently designated districts and centers in the region. The Vision 2040 plan also noted there is significant overlap between these different types of focus areas or identification of needs, as described in Table 5. In these areas of overlap, strategies aimed at meeting the need for greater modal options can yield further benefits by assisting in congestion mitigation.

These include: • Observations of millennial preferences that tend to favor more urbanized environments with multimodal mobility options • The uncertain influence of technology including connected and automated vehicles and transportation network companies (e.g. Lyft, Uber) • Growing interest in agri-tourism and medical -related tourism (tourism being dependent on interregional travel) • The influence of an aging population 9 http://ryarc.org/transportation/mpo-urban-transportation/long-range-plan/ January 16, 2018 Page 12 • Concerns about an inadequate supply of talent and "brain drain" (i.e. challenges in retaining highly -educated, trained, and/or young persons within the region) • Identified opportunities to cultivate student retention (including, potentially, livability -oriented transportation solutions such as transit -oriented development and shared mobility services) • Recent successes in business growth: e.g. Altec (180 additional jobs), Eldor (350 new jobs), Community College Shared Services Center (200 new), Movie Screen Manufacturer (50 new), Ballast Point (175 new) Brewery, Virginia Tech — Carilion (1000 new), Deschutes (108 new) Breweries, AEP (102 additional)10 Key Outcomes: Group Discussion — Needs Following the presentation, members of the Steering Committee engaged in a "brainstorm" session regarding regional transportation needs that can be traced to the region's understanding of desired economic development. The identified draft needs were refined and presented at the RVTPO Policy Board meeting on December 14, 2017. Table 6 displays these draft needs. Beyond this preliminary identification of needs and priorities, the discussion also revealed a consensus opinion from the steering committee that the region wishes to get better at 'thinking big by thinking regionally' and to put more concerted effort into developing strong regional transportation concepts that address economic development goals and can be effectively marketed or advocated. Table 6 Draft Needs/Priorities • Lack of travel time reliability between Roanoke/Blacksburg which is essential due to increasing worker/student flow • Lack of connectivity between the Roanoke -Blacksburg Regional Airport and Downtown Roanoke • Vehicle congestion on Route 460 East between Downtown Roanoke and Alternate 220 • Vehicle congestion on Route 220 South between Clearbrook and Route 419 due to people commuting toward Downtown Roanoke • Lack of transit access for residents in the City of Roanoke to jobs in surrounding areas • Lack of connectivity from transit to final destinations • Lack of trails/bikeways between destinations (lower priority since region is already successful in getting funding) • Lack of walkable mixed-use places throughout the region — i.e. "placemaking" environment. • Increasing vehicle congestion on Route 220 North between 1-81 and Greenfield • Insufficient flight options at affordable prices from ROA. 10 Figures provided by TPO Staff.

This task draws primarily on existing information contained in the Vision 2040 Roanoke Valley Transportation plan and the Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) 2017 Annual Update. Where relevant and readily available, it includes other supporting other data, including information from VTrans 2040. This profile synthesizes available information to provide new perspectives that a) reflect the understanding of economic development expressed by stakeholders at the November 29, 2017 stakeholder workshop; b) align with key factors that support business competitiveness, and c) focus specifically on the role of transportation in the context of broader economic development processes. VISION FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT At the November 29, 2017 workshop and steering committee meeting, regional stakeholders participated in a discussion of regional economic development goals and their relationship to transportation needs. This discussion identified and validated an alignment of goals from the region's CEDS and Vision 2040, including: • Connectivity: ensuring adequate connectivity both internally within the region and to outside markets, to support opportunities for people to access jobs, services, and activity centers, and to further facilitate the growth of high -wage industry clusters. • Competitiveness: focusing on how well the transportation system supports business, addressing specific sectors like tourism, and focusing on a diverse business base that includes both large employers and entrepreneurial activity. • Maintenance: the mandate to think as a region about long term care of the system as well as how to get the most value from the assets the region already has. • Sustainability: recognizing the ample natural and cultural resources in the region and seeking to align transportation and economic development strategies to keep the region and its growth sustainable in the long run. Building on this vision, this memo presents data on economic conditions and trends in the region, as a basis for understanding challenges and opportunities moving forward. It also investigates key regional attributes that are known to affect private sector location and expansion decisions, including non - Economic Development Research Group, Inc. 155 Federal Street, Suite 600, Boston, MA 02110 USA Telephone +1.617.338.6775 0 FAX +1.617.338.1174 0 www.edrgroup.com January 16, 2018 Page 2 transportation factors related to human capital, innovation, and livability, as well as transportation connectivity conditions. REGIONAL ECONOMIC PROFILE Study Region Definition(s) This regional economic profile draws on data compiled from a variety of sources that in some cases adopt different, but overlapping, study region definitions. As shown in Figure 1, the CEDS study area includes the counties of Alleghany, Botetourt, Craig, and Roanoke, the Cities of Covington, Roanoke, and Salem, and the Towns of Clifton Forge and Vinton. The Vision 2040 Roanoke Valley Transportation plan, in accordance with federal MPO planning requirements, addresses a smaller geography that includes the census designated Urbanized Area centered around Roanoke and the area that is expected to be urbanized in the next 20 years.' The result is that the RVTPO boundary encompasses the Cities of Roanoke and Salem, the Town of Vinton, and the urbanized portions of the Counties of Bedford, Botetourt, Roanoke and Montgomery, as shown in Figure 2. Both the CEDS and Vision 2040 represent planning activities of the broader RVARC, which is a Virginia Planning District defined in accordance with state statute. The RVARC boundaries additionally encompass Franklin County and the Town of Rocky Mount as joint members. Figure 3 shows this broader geography and its correspondence with the study region for Vision 2040. Some data is tabulated at the level of the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which is similar to the RVARC service area expect that it excludes Allegheny County and Covington. Finally, for the purposes of its regional network needs analysis, VTrans 2040 defined the Roanoke Region as including Botetourt County, Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke, and the City of Salem. Note that while these differing geographic definitions lend nuance to the interpretation of collected data, they also serve to highlight the significant interconnectedness of the broader Roanoke region. http://rvarc.org/transportation/mpo-urban-transportation/ January 16, 2018 Page 3 Figure 1 Roanoke Valley - Alleghany Region (CEDS) Source: Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy 2017 Annual Update (2017 CEDS) January 16, 2018 Page 4 Figure 2 RVTPO Study Area Boundaries Roanoke Valley Area MPO 2040 Study Area O MPO 20sO Study Area Boundary s 2010 Census Urtommed Arte Botetoun Count Craig County .� \ � / a.mordCouMy ..... �. _ BtKefO�et County Roanoke County ..

In terms of overall population growth, the Roanoke CEDS region has experienced slower growth in the period from 2000 to 2015 (5.0%) compared to the Commonwealth of Virginia as a whole (16.6%), as shown in Table 2. Within the region, some localities showed relatively strong growth from 2000-2015 (Botetourt County, Roanoke County, the City of Roanoke, and the Town of Vinton), while others lost population in the same period (Alleghany County, the City of Covington, and the Town of Clifton Forge).

Age is one significant variable used to understand labor force trends. Table 5 shows that the population of most of the localities in the CEDS region is on average older than that of the Commonwealth as a whole. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, all localities in the CEDS region have experienced a stagnant or declining labor force in the period between 2012 and 2016, as shown in Table 6. The availability of human capital, therefore, is one of the significant challenges facing the region.

January 16, 2018 Page 9 • Average private sector wages in the region also grew by 3.5% from 1998-2015. While this growth lags other regions in the U.S., the region benefited from already being (and remaining) in the top 30% of metro areas. • Total private non-agricultural employment declined slightly between 1998 and 2015 and total population increased just slightly from 1998 to 2016. • Nationally, the percentage of young adults (25 to 44) in the total population steadily declined from 1998-2016. However, for Roanoke, this decline has been steeper, and the current regional percentage (23.43%) is lower than the U.S. average (26.35%). • Poverty increased in the region between 1998 and 2015. However, the region is still in the top 30% of metro areas with the lowest poverty rates and has a lower rate (13.12%) than the US as a whole (14.7%).

Industry Composition and Clusters Figure 6 shows the industry composition of employment in the Roanoke Valley Alleghany Region (corresponding to the RVARC service area shown in Figure 3). The largest employment sectors in the region are: Health Care and Social Assistance, Government, Retail, Manufacturing, and Accommodation and Food Services. Some of these are primarily local -serving in that they support the local needs of January 16, 2018 Page 11 regional residents and tend to growth with population. Health Care and Social Assistance and Government industries are classically local -serving.

As cited in Virginia Employment Commission: Virginia Community Profile, Roanoke Valley -Alleghany RC, January 2018. http://virginialmi.com/report center/community profiles/5109000305.pdf Given the importance of tourism in the Roanoke region, businesses in Retail and Accommodations and Food Services are likely to serve a mix of local residents and travelers from elsewhere that visit and January 16, 2018 Page 12 spend money in the regional economy. Manufacturing, on the other hand, is what is sometimes called a "traded" industry. Manufacturing businesses produce goods that are then shipped out to broader markets, thus bringing outside money into the economy. Service sectors like Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services can also be considered traded industries if they serve outside markets. CLUSTERS ARE GROUPINGS OF NOT ONLY INDUSTRIES WITH SIMILAR PROCESSES BUT ALSO KEY SUPPLIERS AND OTHER RELATED INDUSTRIES FROM OTHER INDUSTRIAL SECTORS THAT TEND TO LOCATE IN THE SAME GENERAL PROXIMITY AND GAIN CERTAIN ADVANTAGES (SHARED WORKFORCE, KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER, ETC.) FROM DOING SO. - Roanoke Valley -Alleghany Regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy All regional economies share certain commonalities in that they require population -serving businesses to support to local population by providing food, housing, transportation, shelter, etc. Where regions differ is in their developed specialties for goods and services that are exported elsewhere. These specialties can arise for many reasons ranging from proximity to natural resources, to a region's locational advantage with respect to specific global supply chains, or to concentrations of talent and innovation associated with research institutions. Regardless of their underlying initial cause, clustering dynamics tend to be self -reinforcing as businesses derive advantages from colocation with other similar companies, including: access to a broad pool of skilled workers with industry- or cluster -specific skills, access to suppliers and business customers, the ability to share ideas face-to-face with others who are working on similar business or technological problems, and access to educational, research, consulting, and engineering services that are specialized in the needs of the industry or cluster.' By identifying industry clusters, economic development strategy can be tailored to support and build upon positive clustering dynamics and regional competitive advantages. Table 7 lists eight industry clusters in the Roanoke region that employ a disproportionately high number of workers relative to their share in the U.S., as indicated by a location quotient (LQ)3 of greater than 1. For example, Transportation & Logistics and Electrical Equipment and Appliance & Component Manufacturing both account for approximately twice the average national proportion of employment in the region. The identified clusters all share a significant level of reliance on freight transportation to support access to material input and the ability to move goods to market (with the possible exception of certain more 2 Helper, S., T. Krueger, and H. Wial. 2012. Locating American Manufacturing: Trends in the Geography of Production. Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings. https://www.brookings.edu/wp- content/uploads/2016/06/0509 locating american manufacturing report.pdf 3 A location quotient (LQ) is an analytical statistic that measures a region's industrial specialization relative to a larger geographic unit (usually the nation). An LQ is computed as an industry's share of a regional total for some economic statistic (earnings, GDP by metropolitan area, employment, etc.) divided by the industry's share of the national total for the same statistic. https://www.bea.gov/fag/index.cfm?fag id=478 January 16, 2018 Page 13 service and research -oriented subsectors within the Life Sciences cluster). However, that is not to say that workforce issues and passenger transportation are irrelevant to these clusters. All parts of the national economy are becoming increasingly knowledge -oriented and dependent on access to skilled labor. Transportation supports the "people side of the equation" by ensuring people can reliably get to work, providing a diversity of mobility options to support quality of life, and by helping companies maintain connections with customers, suppliers, and collaborators through business travel.

Human Capital, Innovation, and Livability Before addressing transportation conditions in the region, this section addresses other facets and inputs to regional competitiveness including human capital, innovation, and quality of life. Educational attainment—usually described in terms of residents with a college degree—is often used as a proxy for the human capital inputs necessary for a competitive economy. In fact, educational attainment is consistently found to be the strongest predictor of regional employment growth.' Table 8 shows the educational attainment of the population that is aged 25 years and over in the region. Note that while conventional wisdom has often focused on attainment of a bachelor's degree or higher, recent research shows that attractive wage and job opportunities exist in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields for workers with a post -secondary certificate or associate's degree.' ' Literature supporting this notion is summarized in Edward Glaeser, Triumph of the City: How Our Greatest Invention Makes Us Richer, Smarter, Greener, Healthier, and Happier, London, UK: Penguin, 2012. s Jonathan Rothwell, "The Hidden STEM Economy," Metropolitan Policy Program, Brookings, https://www. brookings.edu/wp-content/uPIoads/2016/06/TheHiddenSTEMEconomy6l O.

The red text in Table 8 points to localities in which educational attainment is lower than at the state level. With the exception of Roanoke County, the data show that the region lags the state in educational attainment at the level of an associate's degree or higher. Figure 7 shows a similar comparison of educational attainment in the Roanoke MSA to the rest of the U.S. In the period 2000-2015, Roanoke succeeded in surpassing the national average for those receiving a high school diploma or more. The metro area still lags behind the country in attainment of an associate's and bachelor's degrees (or more) but has nevertheless improved performance over time and ranks in the second quintile of U.S. metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas.

Looking beyond educational attainment, those interested in economic development have also begun to dive deeper into the dynamics of innovation and entrepreneurships as drivers of overall economic growth. Table 9 compares the Roanoke region to the Commonwealth of Virginia according to two innovation indicators. The first shows that the region has establishments with on average more workers per firm than Virginia. Smaller average firm size is a good indicator of economic health in the long run. The second is a composite index developed by the Indiana Business Research Center for the U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration "to highlight factors that indicate a region is more or less ready to participate in the knowledge economy." Again, with respect to this measure, the region is ranked behind the State.

Another perspective on workforce as a key ingredient to economic development is the increased competition between regions for talent, based on overall quality of life. In this arena, rather than focusing only on attracting businesses, regions are also seeking to compete for the talent upon which those businesses rely. Table 10 reports on an indicator of quality of life—the Cost of Living Index, as computed by the Council for Community and Economic Research. Roanoke's index comes in at 90 (benchmarked against a national average of 100), which compares favorably with other cities. This cost of living index is a composite score which includes sub -indices of housing (89.0), transportation (86.3), misc. goods and services (88.3), grocery items (90.2), utilities (98.5), and health care (93.8).6 Table 10 Comparative Cost of Living Index Region Cost of Living Index Roanoke, VA 90.0 National Average 100.0 Charleston, SC 101.0 Harrisonburg, VA 96.9 Charlottesville, VA 103.7 Atlanta, GA 99.9 Raleigh, NC 90.5 Washington, DC 146.8 Source: ACCRA, 2015 Annual Average Data, as cited in Roanoke Regional Chamber Greater Roanoke Virginia Statistical Guide, 2017, http://65.169.107.207/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Statistical- Guide-Web-Version. pdf 6 ACCRA, 2015 Annual Average Data, as cited in Roanoke Regional Chamber Greater Roanoke Virginia Statistical Guide, 2017, http://65.169.107.207/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/2017-Statistical-Guide-Web-Version.pdf January 16, 2018 Page 17 TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIVITY CONDITIONS This section discusses transportation connectivity conditions from two primary perspectives that are of direct relevance to business competitiveness: (1) Intra -Regional Connectivity and Labor Market Access, and (2) Inter -Regional Connectivity with Outside Markets. Intra -Regional Connectivity and Labor Market Access Table 11 reports commute times for those living in the Roanoke MSA compared to other metropolitan areas in Virginia that are closest in size to Roanoke. The data suggests that the Roanoke region benefits from relatively short commutes compared to the statewide average—a reflection in part of the lower levels of congestion experienced in the area.

Correspondingly its transit, walking, and biking shares are also lower (a total of 3% compared to 7% at the state level). Vision 2040, the region's LRTP, describes an anticipated greater importance of modal options for the future of the region:' The Roanoke Valley's population has not yet grown to a size where the primary reliance on driving for people or freight mobility has hampered quality of life or business, but with every new land development, it is important to plan for a future with mixed uses and multiple modes.

January 16, 2018 Page 20 market, there are 3.38 million employees (an indicator of economic activity) located within a 3 -hour drive of Roanoke.10 Table 12 reports annual enplanements at all commercial service airports in Virginia. Roanoke -Blacksburg Regional airport served approximately 305,000 enplanements (boardings) in 2016, up 2% from the previous year. The airport is the fifth busiest passenger airport in the state and the 156th nationally. The airport serves eight non-stop destinations with more than 40 scheduled flights daily."

Roanoke lies at the convergence of multiple corridors owned by freight railroad Norfolk Southern. CSX also serves the region. Norfolk Southern has a "Thoroughbred Bulk Transfer Terminal" in Roanoke that provides rail -to -truck and truck -to -rail bulk transfer and distribution services. At present, the region does not have an intermodal container rail transfer terminal, although one has been proposed and analyzed near the intersection of two major Norfolk Southern (NS) freight corridors (Heartland and Crescent). The region is, however, within the service area of other existing intermodal terminals, and is close enough to the Port of Virginia for trucking to be more cost effective than rail at that distance. 12 The introduction of new passenger rail to Roanoke is a key development in supporting the region's connections to outside markets. As of late 2017, Roanoke is the new end of the line for the Northeast Regional train. 10 Estimates from ESRI Business Analyst Online. 11 http://www.roanokeairport.com/ 12 http://rvarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09NVestern-Virginia-Intermodal-Study- Final RoanokeReport LessAppendices-Final-Report-06-25-2015.pdf January 16, 2018 Page 21 Finally, inter -regional connectivity is important to the Roanoke region because of its role in supporting tourism and associated economic activity. According to estimates by the U.S. Travel Association developed for the Virginia Tourism Corporation, $751 million in spending by domestic visitors to the Roanoke region directly supported 7,037 jobs in 2016. This is 10% higher than in 2012 (Table 13). The regional CEDS associates an increase in tourism in part with the "advent of the new regional identity for tourism —'Virginia's Blue Ridge."'

Of particular interest are the issues raised that relate to workforce availability and the influence of lifestyle, vibrancy, and image on the region's ability to attract and retain young professionals. Transportation can play a supporting role in addressing this challenge as there is growing evidence that young professionals (and to some extent retirees as well) are seeking communities that feel more urban and that are more supportive of transit, walking, and biking. The CEDS SWOT analysis also notes a planning related regional weakness: "Lack of common vision, territorialism, fragmented governments, tunnel vision, we think small (risk -averse)," all of which points to a desire for more regional big -picture thinking. 2012 2016 % Change Locality Jobs Expenditures Jobs Expenditures Jobs Expenditures Alleghany 352 $35 361 $36 3% 3% 4-1 Botetourt 433 $51 462 $57 7% 11% 0 Craig 46 $4 48 $4 4% 5% Roanoke 1,530 $151 1,742 $175 14% 16% Covington 55 $5 54 $5 -2% 1% Roanoke 3,419 $373 3,616 $405 6% 9% Salem 682 $61 754 $68 11% 13% Region Subtotal 6,517 $680 7,037 $751 8% 10% Virginia 210,020 $21,214 229,259 $23,700 9% 12% Source: Prepared by the U.S. Travel Association for the Virginia Tourism Corporation. http://web.yesvirginia. orp/localspendinp/localspending Transportation -Related Insights from the CEDS SWOT Analysis In support of identification of regional competitive advantages and disadvantages, Table 14 summarizes insights from the CEDS SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis that are directly or indirectly related to transportation.

These were developed by members of the project Steering Committee at the November 29, 2017 meeting and subsequently refined and presented at the RVTPO Policy Board meeting on December 14, 2017. Beyond this preliminary identification of needs and priorities, the steering committee also revealed a consensus opinion that the region wishes to get better at 'thinking big by thinking regionally' and to put more concerted effort into developing strong regional transportation concepts that address economic 13 http://rvarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Western-Virginia-Intermodal-Study- Final RoanokeReport LessAppendices-Final-Report-06-25-2015.pdf January 16, 2018 Page 23 development goals and can be effectively marketed or advocated. This is in alignment with the CEDS identified weakness of "lack of common vision" identified above. Table 15 Draft Needs/Priorities • Lack of travel time reliability between Roanoke/Blacksburg which is essential due to increasing worker/student flow • Lack of connectivity between the Roanoke -Blacksburg Regional Airport and Downtown Roanoke • Vehicle congestion on Route 460 East between Downtown Roanoke and Alternate 220 • Vehicle congestion on Route 220 South between Clearbrook and Route 419 due to people commuting toward Downtown Roanoke • Lack of transit access for residents in the City of Roanoke to jobs in surrounding areas • Lack of connectivity from transit to final destinations • Lack of trails/bikeways between destinations (lower priority since region is already successful in getting funding) • Lack of walkable mixed-use places throughout the region — i.e. "placemaking" environment. • Increasing vehicle congestion on Route 220 North between 1-81 and Greenfield • Insufficient flight options at affordable prices from ROA. Fiscal Environment Vision 2040 highlights how the role of regional planning and transportation investment at RVTPO is changing and will continue to change, in response to the fact that: 1. SMART SCALE encourages greater regional decision-making, rather than more fragmented local decisions 2. "The vast majority of anticipated future funding will be used for maintenance rather than new construction. This will likely mean that very few large-scale new terrain transportation projects will be built in the future. Rather, many transportation projects will be smaller incremental improvements." SYNTHESIS OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES This memo has assembled available data information on the Roanoke Region, addressing (1) economic and demographic trends, including special attention to labor force trends; (2) key industries, with distinctions between population -serving and traded industries and consideration of clustering dynamics; (3) human capital, innovation, and livability; and (4) transportation conditions focused on intra- and inter -regional connectivity conditions that support business needs (e.g., the need to access quality labor, January 16, 2018 Page 24 move goods, and facilitate tourism). The data and information reviewed suggest the following observations about the region's competitive advantages and disadvantages: • While the region is growing and has made meaningful gains in prosperity, it is still lagging Virginia and the nation with regard to certain indicators of overall economic development, including young adult population growth. • The largest employment sectors in the region are: Health Care and Social Assistance, Government, Retail, Manufacturing, and Accommodation and Food Services. Manufacturing is key to bringing outside money into the economy, as are the sub -portions of Retail and Accommodations and Food Services that support tourism activity. • The Roanoke region is competitive in several industry clusters, including: Transportation & Logistics; Electrical Equipment, Appliance & Component Manufacturing; Glass & Ceramics; Biomedical/Biotechnical (Life Sciences); Transportation Equipment Manufacturing; Mining; Chemicals & Chemical Based Products; Forest & Wood Products. • One of the primary challenges facing the region is human capital—both in scale of the available workforce and in educational attainment. In particular, the region has struggled with attracting and retaining young people. Transportation can play a supporting role in addressing this challenge as there is growing evidence that young professionals (and to some extent retirees as well) are seeking communities that feel more urban and that are more supportive of transit, walking, and biking. • While the region still lags according to various indicators of innovation and entrepreneurship, there are positive signs of changes in their realm, including a rapid increase in recent years in venture capital investment in the Roanoke metro area. • The Roanoke region competes well with other locations in terms of cost of living, which is a major component of livability. • The region at present benefits from relatively low levels of congestion. However, the region is cognizant of the need to ensure that future growth does not erode this strength—by planning "for a future with mixed uses and multiple modes." • Connectivity to surrounding regions, particularly the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area, is key to the continued competitiveness of the region and may require targeted improvement strategies. • Amtrak passenger rail service is a new strength for the region that may present new opportunities. • The region's growing tourism industry presents new opportunities for strengthening the economy. • The region is faced with a planning paradigm in which fiscal limitations mean very few large-scale transportation projects are likely to be built in the future, but big -picture regional decision making is nevertheless increasingly key to success. This may point to transportation strategies that focus on key corridors or forms of connectivity as a framework within which incremental improvements can be made overtime. c 0 M*aN 1= CD 0 ca 0 1= L 0 M= 0 Lamm CMD i ca 10 0 co CD 0 Co • �� mCD E o o 0 o�Co0ai � 00 0 � o: No.a) W O� a) - =cam Wa) 4 oo co S Q v > O cts cn 3 a) `—' o a) Cts " o o a) _0 a o o cn 3 0 ®p E a) o cn cn co o T, O O H O T L O O 0 0 Q) (3.)to to 0 U) •C c cc O C N N o :6 o .� O O `n co cB cB }* T�o cn 4 o N 0 0 o — o C2 .o ca 0 0 co Cts U a) Q) T Q O— O 0 0 0 0 OU + O N O oo � a) CO 'P � c M c a C6 o p Q Co o.

Please explain how the request furthers the purposes of the Roanoke County Ordinances as well as the purpose found at the beginning of the applicable district classification in the Zoning Ordinance: Applicants constructed a large garage/warehouse structure at the rear of 4821 Poor Mountain Road to have storage for equipment they owned. While the structure was properly permitted, the use for the building has evolved over the years and is also used as the location for their son's excavation and demolition business where he works on and stores equipment he uses in that business. Once notified that this usage was in violation of the County zoning ordinance, they elected to file this rezoning application to AV, Agricultural Village, with a Special Use Permit for the rear portions of 4821 and 4835 Poor Mountain Road as a construction yard. Applicants have included their adjoining parcel located at 4835 Poor Mountain Road in this application with a request to have it also rezoned to AV with a Special Use Permit because they hope to build as many as three additional buildings similar to the one on 4821 Poor Mountain Road in the future. No specific size, use or configuration has been decided on and this would be dependent on review and approval by the County of their application to build when more specific information is available. Pursuant to Sec. 30-3 (A) (7), this request furthers the zoning purpose of encouraging "economic development activities that provide desirable employment and enlarge the tax base." 2. Please explain how the project conforms to the general guidelines and policies contained in the Roanoke County Community Plan: In Chapter 7 of the Roanoke County Comprehensive Plan ("County Plan"), the Glenvar Community, where the properties are located, is projected to "develop a community plan which balances the needs of future industrial and commercial development with residential development and open space preservation." Since the properties are located in a future designated Principal Industrial area, according to Chapter 6 of the County Plan, industrial and smallindustries and custom manufacturing are considered conforming for the area in its future land use. Specifically, this rezoning request fits several of the so-called "land use determinants": • EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN - Locations where industry has historically developed; • EXISTING ZONING - Locations zoned industrial'; • ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AREAS - Locations identified by Roanoke County as an economic opportunity areal • EMPLOYMENT CENTERS - Locations where labor-intensive industries exist. • TRANSPORTATION CENTERS - Locations within close proximity to rail, airport and major street systems. 1 In the Glenvar Community Plan, the properties are zoned for future industrial use. Both properties are still zoned as R-1 and AR, respectively. 2 See Economic Opportunity Area Map — West County. Furthermore, in the Glenvar Community Plan ("Glenvar Plan"), a separate comprehensive plan specifically dedicated to the Glenvar Area, the properties are enveloped in the future designated Principal Industrial area, which is "intended for industrial uses and regional employment centers and includes the Center for Research and Technology, Valley Tech Park and existing industrial areas south of Route 11/460." In Chapter 8 of the Glenvar Plan, it is stated that "technology-based businesses and low intensity industrial uses are most appropriate for the Principal Industrial designation in the Glenvar Planning Area." Since the properties are located near the Roanoke River, they are considered under the jurisdiction of the floodplain district and its appropriate uses include: • low intensity industrial uses' and custom manufacturing Specifically pertaining to Poor Mountain Road, where the properties are situated, it is stated that "uses should be limited to environmentally -sensitive, small manufacturing and low intensity industrial along the Roanoke River and railroad tracks." By complying with the above referenced languages in the community plans, the requested rezoning to an agricultural/village center should be deemed conforming and appropriate for a construction yard. 3. Please describe the impact(s) of the request on the property itself, the adjoining properties, and the surrounding area, as well as the impacts on public services and facilities, including water/sewer, roads, schools, parks/recreation and fire and rescue: Transportation: according to the Glenvar Plan, a 6 -year Primary Improvement project was being undertaken on the 2.1 -mile segment of the West Main Street (Route 11/460) from the City of Salem limits to 1/10 of a mile west of Technology Drive. Being within such close proximity to Route 11/460, the properties enjoy the benefits of the proposed improvements upon completion of this project in 2013. Given the low intensity of the type of industrial operation this request is proposing, it is expected that little to no extra burden 3 The phrase "low intensity industrial uses" is not defined in the Ordinances. shall be added to the existing transportation ecosystem. Applicant has no employees and generally travels to and from the site at the beginning and end of the work day. Floodplain Overlay Restriction: pursuant to the Roanoke County Ordinances, Sec. 30-28, an overlay district prescribes special regulations to be applied to a site of combination with the underlying or base district. According to the Glenvar Plan, in a Floodplain Overlay District ("FO District"), any use, activity and/or development that adversely affects the capacity of the channels or floodways or any watercourse, drainage ditch or other drainage facility or system would be prohibited. Additionally, the lowest floor elevation and any new residential structure must be at least two feet above the base flood elevation. Given the nature of the operations, establishing a construction yard on the properties would have minimal impact on the above stated concerns in an FO District. Adjacent Properties: since the larger area is projected to be classified as a Principal Industrial area, when under compliance with statutorily prescribed dust and noise levels, regular operations of the construction yard would not be adversely affecting its immediate neighborhood. CONCEPT PLAN CHECKLIST A concept plan of the proposed project roust be submitted with the application. The concept plan shall graphically depict the land use change, development or variance that is to be considered. Fltrther, the plan shall address any potential land use or design issues arising from the request. in such cases involving rezonings, the applicant may proffer conditions to limit the fixture use and development of the property and by so doing, correct any deficiencies that may not be manageable by County permitting regulatloils. The concept plan should not be confused with the site plan or plot plan that is required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Site plan and building permit procedures, ensure compliance with -State and County development regulations and may require changes to the initial concept plan. unless limiting conditions are proffered and accepted in a rezoning or imposed on a special use permit or variance, the concept plan may be altered to the extent permitted by the zoning district and other regulations. A concept plan is required with all rezoning, special use permit, waiver, community plan (15.2-2232) review and variance applications. The plan should be prepared by a professional site planner. The level of detail may vary, depending on the nature of the request.

G.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: ISSUE: October 23, 2018 Ordinance approving an amendment to the lease of the Bent Mountain Community Center to expand the leased premises to the entirety of the building and gain the flexibility to sub- lease the expanded premises Rob Light Director of General Services Thomas C. Gates County Administrator Proposed amendment to the lease between Roanoke County and the Bent Mountain Center, Inc. (Tenant) to eliminate an exclusion to use for any elementary or secondary school purpose. Additionally, the amendment will provide that both the County and Tenant maintain the same ability to terminate the lease or reduce the scope of leased space. BACKGROUND: The County assumed possession of the former Bent Mountain Elementary School in 2012. In January of 2013, the County entered into a lease agreement with the Bent Mountain Center, Inc. for use of defined sections of the building and grounds as a Community Center. The following changes to the lease agreement are proposed in this amendment: 1. Modify to eliminate exclusion of use for an elementary or secondary school purpose. The Center continues to seek out opportunities to expand programs and utilization of the facility and has requested consideration to sublet a portion of the facility to the Bent Mountain Christian Academy, a small private school located at 2226 Colonial Avenue, Roanoke, VA 24015. Page 1 of 2 2. Modify to provide that either the County or Tenant, at their sole discretion, may cancel or reduce the scope of the Leased Premises with one hundred eighty (180) days written notice to the other. The current lease provides only the Tenant the option to cancel or reduce the scope with written notification of thirty (30) days. DISCUSSION: The proposed amendment will allow the Tenant to broaden utilization opportunities for an existing sublet prospect. The Amendment will also provide both the County and Tenant with the ability to address future needs for reducing the scope of leased space or cancellation. The attached draft lease amendment addresses the proposed changes outlined above. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact from this action, however any future sublet rents collected are required per the existing lease to be utilized for the ongoing operations and maintenance costs for the leased premises. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling a second reading and public hearing for November 7, 2018.

H.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: October 23, 2018 Ordinance authorizing and approving a lease agreement between Roanoke County and CeIICo Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless for a communications facility at 7415 Wood Haven Road Richard Caywood Assistant County Administrator APPROVED BY: Thomas C. Gates County Administrator ISSUE: CeIICo Partnership (Verizon Wireless) proposes to lease both rooftop and ground space at the Green Ridge Recreation Facility for the purpose of installing a wireless communication system. BACKGROUND: In August 2014, Roanoke County advertised Request for Proposal (RPF) 2015-046 soliciting interest from the wireless industry in locating cellular equipment on the planned water tower at Green Ridge Recreation Center. At the time of the RFP, construction of the water tower had not commenced. Verizon Wireless was the only responding party to the RFP. A number of factors delayed the completion of the water tower. After its completion, Verizon Wireless proposed the idea of locating on the existing Green Ridge roof rather than the water tower due to regulatory concerns regarding the proximity of the tower to the airport. DISCUSSION: Staff has negotiated the attached draft lease which has the following general terms: Page 1 of 2 Term: Five (5) years with four (4) additional five (5) -year terms at the discretion of Verizon Rent: $22,000 a year with a ten percent (10%) increase in the rent at each five (5) year renewal. Location: Antennas to be located on the rooftop of the stairwell with appropriate screening. Other equipment located on the ground near existing mechanical equipment such as the generator. Access to the rooftop is provided by a caged ladder system for after-hours access. Access through the building is permitted during normal Green Ridge operating hours with advance scheduling required. There have been no changes since the first reading on October 9, 2018. FISCAL IMPACT: Roanoke County will receive $671,560 over the life of the lease if it is renewed for all four (4) of the term renewals. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

The indemnified Party will cooperate appropriately with the indemnifying Party in connection with the indemnifying Party's defense of such claim. The indemnifying Party shall defend any indemnified Party, at the indemnified Party's request, against any claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for indemnification pursuant to Paragraphs 12 and 26, a violation of Paragraph 31, or a violation of law, neither Party shall be liable to the other, or any of their respective agents, representatives, or employees for any lost revenue, lost profits, diminution in value of business, loss of technology, rights or services, loss of data, or interruption or loss of use of service, incidental, punitive, indirect, special, trebled, enhanced or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages, whether such damages are claimed for breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, unless applicable law forbids a waiver of such damages. 15. INTERFERENCE. (a). LESSEE agrees that LESSEE will not cause interference that is measurable in accordance with industry standards to LESSOR's equipment.

LESSOR agrees and acknowledges that the communications equipment shall remain the personal property of LESSEE and LESSEE shall have the right to remove the same at any time during the Term, whether or not said items are considered fixtures and attachments to real property under applicable laws. If such time for removal causes LESSEE to remain on the Premises after termination of the Agreement, LESSEE shall pay rent in accordance with Paragraph 17. 17. HOLDOVER. If LESSEE holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then this Agreement shall continue on a month to month basis at the then existing monthly rental rate or the existing monthly pro -rata basis if based upon a longer payment term, until the removal of the communications equipment is completed. 18. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If at any time after the Effective Date, LESSOR receives an offer or letter of intent from any person or entity that is in the business of owning, managing or operating communications facilities or is in the business of acquiring landlord interests in agreements relating to communications facilities, to purchase fee title, an easement, a lease, a license, or any other interest in the Premises or any portion thereof or to acquire any interest in this Agreement, or an option for any of the foregoing, LESSOR shall provide written notice to LESSEE of said offer ("LESSOR's Notice"). LESSOR's Notice shall include the prospective buyer's name, the purchase price being offered, any other consideration being offered, the other terms and conditions of the offer, a description of the portion of and interest in the Premises and/or this Agreement which will be conveyed in the proposed transaction, and a copy of any letters of intent or form agreements presented to LESSOR by the third party offeror. LESSEE shall have the right of first refusal to meet any bona fide offer of sale or transfer on the terms and conditions of such offer or by effectuating a transaction with substantially equivalent financial terms. If LESSEE fails to provide written notice to LESSOR that LESSEE intends to meet such bona fide offer within 30 days after receipt of LESSOR's Notice, LESSOR may proceed with the proposed transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of such third party offer, in which event this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the right of first refusal described in this paragraph shall survive any such conveyance to a third party. If LESSEE provides LESSOR with notice of LESSEE's intention to meet the third party offer within 30 days after receipt of LESSOR's Notice, then if LESSOR's Notice describes a transaction involving greater space than the Premises, LESSEE may elect to proceed with a transaction covering only the Premises and the purchase price shall be pro -rated on a square footage basis. Further, LESSOR acknowledges and agrees that if LESSEE exercises this right of first refusal, LESSEE may require a reasonable period of time to conduct due diligence and effectuate the closing of a transaction on substantially equivalent financial terms of the third party offer. LESSEE may elect to amend this Agreement to effectuate the proposed financial terms of the third party offer rather than acquiring fee simple title or an easement interest in the Premises. For purposes of this Paragraph, any transfer, bequest or devise of LESSOR's interest in the Property as a result of the death of LESSOR, whether by will or intestate succession, or any conveyance to LESSOR's family members by direct conveyance or by conveyance to a trust for the benefit of family members shall not be considered a sale for which LESSEE has any right of first refusal. 19. RIGHTS UPON SALE. Should LESSOR, at any time during the Term, decide (i) to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of the Property, or (ii) to grant to a third party by easement or other legal instrument an interest in and to any portion of the Premises or Easement, such sale, transfer, or grant of an easement or interest therein shall be under and subject to this Agreement and any such purchaser or transferee shall recognize LESSEE's rights hereunder. In the event that LESSOR completes any such sale, transfer, or grant described in this paragraph without executing an assignment of the Agreement whereby the third party agrees in writing to assume all obligations of LESSOR under this Agreement, then LESSOR shall not be released from its obligations to LESSEE under this Agreement, and LESSEE shall have the right to look to LESSOR and the third party for the full performance of the Agreement. 20. LESSOR'S TITLE. LESSOR covenants that LESSEE, on paying the rent and performing the covenants herein, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises.

Further, upon a Default, the non -defaulting Party may at its option (but without obligation to do so), perform the defaulting Party's duty or obligation. The costs and expenses of any such performance by the non -defaulting Party shall be due and payable by the defaulting Party upon invoice therefor. If LESSEE undertakes any such performance on LESSOR's behalf and LESSOR does not pay LESSEE the full amount within 30 days of its receipt of an invoice setting forth the amount due, LESSEE may offset the full amount due against all fees due and owing to LESSOR under this Agreement until the full amount is fully reimbursed to LESSEE. 25. ENVIRONMENTAL. LESSEE shall conduct its business in compliance with all applicable laws governing the protection of the environment or employee health and safety ("EH&S Laws"). LESSEE shall indemnify and hold harmless the LESSOR from claims to the extent resulting from LESSEE's violation of any applicable EH&S Laws or to the extent that LESSEE causes a release of any regulated substance to the environment.

If LESSEE's Use is not restored within 45 days, LESSEE may terminate this Agreement. 27. CONDEMNATION. If a condemnation of any portion of the Property or Premises impairs LESSEE's Use, LESSEE may terminate this Agreement. LESSEE may on its own behalf make a claim in any condemnation proceeding involving the Premises for losses related to LESSEE's communications equipment, relocation costs and, specifically excluding loss of LESSEE's leasehold interest, any other damages LESSEE may incur as a result of any such condemnation. 28.

H.2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: October 23, 2018 The petition of Horace Obenchain to rezone approximately 82.05 acres from R-1, Low Density Residential, District to AG -3, Agricultural/Rural Preserve, District, located at 4191, 4185, and 4165 Barley Drive, Catawba Magisterial District (POSTPONED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION) Deborah C. Jacks Chief Deputy Clerk to the Board of Supervisors Thomas C. Gates County Administrator Page 1 of 1 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. 1.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: ISSUE: October 23, 2018 Resolution requesting the Virginia Department of Transportation restrict through tractor truck and trailer or semi -trailer combinations on Route 628 (Green Ridge Road and Wood Haven Road) and Route 626 (Thirlane Road) in Roanoke County Philip Thompson Acting Director of Planning Thomas C. Gates County Administrator Restriction of through tractor truck and trailer or semi -trailer combinations requires a public hearing and resolution by the local governing body to the Virginia Department of Transportation. BACKGROUND: On July 24, 2018, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing to rezone property on Wood Haven Road on petition of the Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority and Lewis Living Trust. Existing and potential new truck traffic on Wood Haven Road and the surrounding streets was a topic of discussion during community meetings, Planning Commission public hearing and the Board of Supervisors public hearing. During the July 24, 2018 meeting, the Board of Supervisors considered concept plans for various through truck restrictions in the vicinity of the property. The Board of Supervisors directed County and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) staff to review the concepts and proceed with the process of restricting through trucks in the vicinity. VDOT staff reviewed the concepts, and have recommended four distinct through truck restrictions. With respect to the original concept plan, VDOT recommended omitting the proposed restriction on Route 780 (Cove Road), because that proposed restriction Page 1 of 4 would prevent any truck from using Cove Road from Electric Road to make deliveries to the Roanoke County School Administrative Offices, Roanoke County Public Safety Center, or Glen Cove Elementary School. VDOT staff also recommended splitting the proposed Route 628 restriction into two parts. This would make the proposed restriction enforceable, as a truck turning north onto Route 629 (Green Ridge Road) from Route 780 (Cove Road) and traveling to Route 629 (Green Ridge Road and Wood Haven Road) would not have a business need within either section of the restriction. DISCUSSION: A "through truck," as defined in Virginia, is a truck that traverses a roadway on which it has neither an origin or destination. A truck that has either an origin or destination on a particular roadway is not considered to be a "Through Truck" when traveling that roadway. This distinction is important because it allows an otherwise restricted vehicle to make a pick up or delivery along a restricted route. A common example of this is when a tractor trailer moving truck traverses restricted routes in a residential area in order to get to a home. The process to restrict through trucks on a secondary street requires the local governing body hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution formally requesting VDOT to place this restriction on a given section of roadway. Once the public hearing has been held and the resolution adopted, the request is forwarded to the local VDOT Resident Administrator for additional review and processing. For Secondary Roadways, Through Truck Restriction requests are either approved or denied by the VDOT Commissioner. This process takes approximately nine (9) months from VDOT's receipt of the required resolution from the local governing body. There are several key criteria that VDOT considers prior to approving any proposed restriction: 1. A reasonable alternative route is provided. 2. Character/frequency of the truck traffic on the route is not compatible with the affected area. 3. Roadway is residential in nature. 4. Roadway must be functionally classified as either local or collector. The failure to satisfy both criteria one and two, and either three or four will result in the request being denied. Local truck traffic, for deliveries or someone who resides on this route, are not affected by the designation, however, all through trucks would be required to use an alternate route. VDOT staff have recommended four distinct through truck restrictions: The first through truck restriction is proposed for Route 628 (Green Ridge Road) Page 2 of 4 beginning at the intersection of Route 780 (Cove Road) and ending at the intersection of Route 629 (Green Ridge Road), with termini to termini distance equaling approximately 0.78 mile. The second through truck restriction is proposed for Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) beginning at the intersection of Route 629 (Green Ridge Road) and ending at the intersection of Route 1452 (Sequoia Drive), with the termini to termini distance equaling approximately 0.73 mile. The third through truck restriction is proposed for Route 626 (Thirlane Road) beginning at the intersection of Route 117 (Peters Creek Road) and ending at the intersection of Route 628 (Wood Haven Road), with the termini to termini distance equaling approximately 0.80 mile. For the first, second and third restricted routes, the proposed alternate route is Route 780 (Cove Road) beginning at the intersection of Route 628 (Green Ridge Road) and the intersection of Route 780 (Cove Road), traveling north on Route 780 (Cove Road) to Route 419 (North Electric Road), then traveling north on Route 419 (North Electric Road) to 1-81 (Exit 141), then traveling north on 1-81 to 1-581 (Exit 143), then traveling south on 1-581 to Route 117 (Peters Creek Road at Exit 2N), then traveling north on Route 117 (Peters Creek Road) to Route 1947 (Valleypointe Parkway), then traveling north on Route 1947 (Valleypointe Parkway) to Route 628 (Wood Haven Road), then traveling west on Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) and ending at the intersection of Route 1452 (Sequoia Drive), with the termini to termini distance equaling approximately 5.91 mile. (see attached map) The fourth through truck restriction is proposed for Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) beginning at the intersection of Route 1440 (Scarlet Oak Drive) and ending at the intersection of Route 117 (Peters Creek Road), with the termini to termini distance equaling approximately 0.60 mile. For the fourth restricted route, the proposed alternate route is Route 117 (Peters Creek Road) beginning at the intersection of Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) and the intersection of Route 117 (Peters Creek Road), then traveling south to Route 1947 (Valleypointe Parkway), then traveling north on Route 1947 (Valleypointe Parkway) to Route 628 (Wood Haven Road), then traveling east on Route 628 (Wood Haven Road) and ending at the intersection of Route 1440 (Scarlet Oak Dr.), with the termini to termini distance equaling approximately 1.77 miles. (see attached map) Page 3 of 4 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact for this item. All costs related to the restriction and associated signage are the responsibility of VDOT. Roanoke County Police would enforce the restriction, if approved, as part of its normal patrol responsibility. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
