AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
CITY OF SALEM, VIRGINIA FOR A MCAFEE KNOB
TRAILHEAD SHUTTLE EXPANSION
SUBMITTED BY: Paula Benke
Transit Planner
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Roanoke County wishes to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the
City of Salem to add two new shuttle stops for the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle within
the City of Salem.
BACKGROUND:
Activity around the National Park Service (NPS) Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT)
McAfee Knob overlook has grown exponentially in recent years. The demand to visit the
Appalachian Trail's most photographed location has outpaced existing NPS resources.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) obtained funding in 2017 to design
and construct a pedestrian bridge to carry the AT over Route 311. Bridge construction
is underway and has closed the existing McAfee Knob Trailhead parking lot for 2024.
The NPS began a Visitor Use Management (VUM) Plan in 2018 for the Virginia's Triple
Crown segment of the AT (McAfee Knob, Dragon's Tooth and Tinker Cliffs) to identify
strategies to enable long-term protection and preservation of AT resources while also
improving the visitor experience. The VUM Plan is nearing completion.
As part of the VUM Plan and considering the impact that pedestrian bridge construction
would likely have on the trailhead parking lot, in February 2021, the National Park
Service published the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, Triple Crown Area Transit
Page 1 of 3
Feasibility Study to consider the potential of operating a shuttle to serve one or more of
the Virginia Triple Crown trailheads. One recommendation from the Transit Feasibility
Report was to run a pilot service between the Interstate 81, Exit 140 Park and Ride and
the McAfee Knob parking lot.
Roanoke County applied for and received Demonstration Project funding from the
Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) to operate this pilot
service. On September 2, 2022, the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle started service with
a fixed route from the 1-81, Exit 140 Park and Ride to the McAfee Knob Trailhead to
ease the parking congestion at the McAfee Knob Trailhead parking lot. Service paused
on November 27, 2022, over the winter months and resumed on March 3, 2023, until
November 26, 2023.
Day, Section and Through Hiker feedback from the 2022-2023 season included
inquiries regarding hotel accommodations, dining options and where to restock
essential items.
Other data collected was that individuals were visiting for an average of two to three
days and looking for other activities to do in the Roanoke Valley.
DISCUSSION:
Roanoke County again applied for and was awarded Demonstration Project funding in
2023 to expand shuttle service while the pedestrian bridge is under construction. In
2024, the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle will add four on demand stops to the already
existing fixed route with connections to Valley Metro bus service. Two of the shuttle
stops will be in the City of Salem at 601 East Main Street ( Longwood Park ) and at 101
South Broad Street. Additional stops will be located at the Orange Market Park and
Ride and along Route 311 near the Dragon's Tooth Trailhead parking lot.
By adding additional stops, the shuttle is meeting the strategic needs outlined in the
Triple Crown Area Transit Feasibility Study, to enable long-term protection, and
preservation of AT resources while improving the visitor experience. The shuttle will
also provide connectivity to local resources in Salem and allow for travel throughout the
Roanoke Valley with access to multiple Valley Metro stops.
County staff have worked with City of Salem staff to identify shuttle stops and
parameters for service. The MOU with the City of Salem is planned to conclude on June
30, 2025, when the current DRPT Demonstration Project funding ends.
The 2024 shuttle season will start on March 1, 2024, and conclude on December 1,
2024. The 2025 shuttle season will start March 7, 2025, and conclude on June 30,
2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated $170,709 from DRPT and
$42,677 in local match for the McAfee Knob Trailhead Shuttle expansion on September
12, 2023, for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. All fares collected from the operation of the
shuttle service are retained to offset the cost of the service. There is no cost associated
with the MOU.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance and scheduling of the
second reading for February 27, 2024.
VOTE:
Supervisor Hooker moved to approve the first reading of this ordinance and scheduling
the second reading and public hearing for February 27, 2024. Supervisor Mahoney

ITEM NO. F.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Emergency Ordinance accepting and appropriating Federal
Lands Access Program funds in the amount of $536,000
from the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division of the U.S.
Department of Transportation Federal Highway
Administration and acknowledge allocating $242,372 of
Roanoke County funds for the Roanoke River Greenway
from the Blue Ridge Parkway to Explore Park, UPC 110155,
Vinton Magisterial District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planning
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate additional Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funds in the
amount of $536,000 from the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (EFLHD) of the
U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration and acknowledge
allocation of $242,372 of Roanoke County funds for the Roanoke River Greenway from
the Blue Ridge Parkway to Explore Park, Bid Additive #2, to complete construction of
this greenway segment.
BACKGROUND:
The FLAP was created by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-
21), continued in the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 and
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) of 2022 to improve state and local transportation
facilities that provide access to and through federal lands.
The Roanoke River Greenway is envisioned as the backbone of the Roanoke Valley
greenway system and has been designated as the top greenway priority by the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission in the 1995, 2007 and 2018 Roanoke Valley
Page 1 of 4
Greenway Plans, all adopted by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. The
Roanoke County 2016 Community Strategic Plan also identifies greenways as a high
priority strategic initiative for supporting a multi-modal transportation network and
keeping Roanoke County healthy, clean, and beautiful. The 2022 County of Roanoke
Strategic Planning document supports continuing construction of the Roanoke River
Greenway in the Outdoor Recreation Strategic Target Outcome Area.
The Roanoke River Greenway is designed as a ten-foot-wide paved path. This project
includes an approximately 1.9 mile section of the greenway from the 3400 block of
Highland Road near the intersection with Rutrough Road, through property owned by
the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA), connecting to a Federal overlook,
passing underneath the Roanoke River Parkway, crossing properties owned by the
National Park Service and ending at Explore Park. A trailhead parking lot will be
constructed at 3404 Rutrough Road with access on Rutrough Road.
The timeline for this project is as follows:
• April 2015: Roanoke County submitted a FLAP application requesting funding to
construct a segment of the Roanoke River Greenway between the Blue Ridge
Parkway and Explore Park;
• July 2016: The EFLHD awarded Roanoke County $1,733,750 (inclusive of local
match);
February 28, 2017: The Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated funding for
the project;
• June 6, 2017: FLAP Project Memorandum of Agreement was executed between
VDOT, EFLHD and Roanoke County;
• January 2018: The Preliminary Engineering phase began;
• February 26, 2020: The RVRA Board of Directors approved the donation of
temporary and permanent easements for the greenway;
• September 2020: Roanoke County conducted public outreach to property owners in
the vicinity of the project to share the Categorical Exclusion, 90 percent plans, maps
and other project materials;
• October 1, 2020: The Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (VRFA) Board of
Directors approved the donation of temporary and permanent easements needed in
Explore Park;
• February 9, 2021: The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors accepted the donated
easements from the RVRA and VRFA;
• May 2, 2022: Roanoke County requested supplemental FLAP funding due to an
updated project estimate identifying the need for additional construction funding;
October 13, 2022: A General Agreement was executed between the National Park
Service Blue Ridge Parkway and the County of Roanoke, Virginia, concerning the
Roanoke River Greenway; and
• January 24, 2023: The Board of Supervisors accepted and appropriated an
additional $1,000,000 in FLAP funds (inclusive of local match) for the project;
• August 9, 2023: The project was advertised for construction with the adjacent
Page 2 of 4
project, Highland Road Crossing (VDOT UPC 113356);
• September 22, 2023: Three construction bids were received that all exceeded the
engineer's estimates for the projects;
• September 27, 2023: Staff contacted EFLHD to request additional funding to satisfy
the project deficit;
• October 2023: The Board of Supervisors authorized allocation of local funds to
satisfy project deficits for the Highland Road Crossing project (VDOT UPC 113356)
totaling $65,033 and the Base Bid and Bid Alternate #1 for the Blue Ridge Parkway
to Explore Park project (VDOT UPC 110155) totaling $242,372;
• November 28, 2023: With the addition of these local funds, Roanoke County was
authorized to award and execute a construction contract with Alleghany Construction
Company to construct the Highland Road Crossing project and the Base Bid and Bid
Alternate #1 for the Blue Ridge Parkway to Explore Park project (Bid Alternate #2
was not executed due to lack of funds);
• November 29, 2023: The National Park Service Blue Ridge Parkway issued a
Special Use Permit for Construction; and
• December 4, 2023: Roanoke County issued a Notice to Proceed for construction
work to commence.
DISCUSSION:
Due to lack of funds, Bid Alternate #2 could not be awarded in November 2023. This
resulted in an unfunded gap that would be expensive to build at a later time due to
access issues. Staff has worked with EFLHD of the U.S. Department of Transportation
Federal Highway Administration over the past four months to obtain additional funding
to allow construction of Bid Alternate #2. The EFLHD awarded Roanoke County
supplemental FLAP funding in the amount of$696,335 (inclusive of matching funds) on
February 1, 2024. VDOT has provided an updated Appendix A agreement which
reflects this supplemental funding. Once the Board of Supervisors accepts and
appropriates the additional funding, the Appendix A can be executed with VDOT and a
contract amendment can be executed with Alleghany Construction Company to add
construction of Bid Alternate #2. An Emergency Ordinance is requested so that these
steps can commence as quickly as possible because all trees must be felled before
April 1, 2024, when a time-of-year restriction (no tree cutting is allowed) begins to
protect the tricolored bat, a species proposed as endangered under the federal
Endangered Species Act, that has been detected in the project area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Federal share of the funding deficit is eighty percent (80%) or $536,000. The
Board of Supervisors authorized the allocation of $242,372 in additional funding for the
project in October 2023, which satisfies more than the required twenty percent (20%)
local match of$160,355.
Original FLAP funding in the amount of $1,733,750 was accepted and appropriated by
Page 3 of 4
the Board of Supervisors on February 28, 2017. Additional FLAP funding in the amount
of $1,000,000 was accepted and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors on January
24, 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the ordinance, and it is requested, upon a four-fifths
vote of the Board, the second reading be waived, and the ordinance be adopted as an
emergency measure.
VOTE:
Supervisor Mahoney moved to approve the ordinance as an emergency ordinance, due
to time constraints for the project, and to thereby dispense the second reading upon an
affirmative vote of 4/5ths of the members of the board. Supervisor Hooker seconded
the motion. Motion approved.

AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance accepting and appropriating Stormwater Local
Assistance Fund (SLAF) grant in the amount of $531,425
from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ), along with a $531,425 local match for the Stream
Restoration of a Tributary to Mudlick Creek along Canter
Drive in the Windsor Hills Magisterial District.
SUBMITTED BY: Tarek Moneir
Director of Development Services
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and appropriate a SLAF grant in the amount of $531,425 from DEQ, along with
a local match of $531,425 from the Monsanto settlement funds for the Stream
Restoration of a Tributary to Mudlick Creek along Canter Drive in the Windsor Hills
Magisterial District.
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke River is impaired by excessive sediment. The Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) has assigned Roanoke County a wasteload allocation
(WLA) for sediment that is enforceable under the County's Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) permit. The County is required by its MS4 permit to decrease
discharge of sediment to the Roanoke River to the maximum extent practicable to meet
its WLA. One of the means that the County has been addressing this permit
requirement is by constructing natural stream restoration projects in streams within its
MS4 service area that are experiencing severe bank erosion.
In 2015, the County performed a screening assessment of County streams to identify
the most promising candidate sites for stream restoration projects. One of the top sites
identified in this study was an unnamed tributary to Mudlick Creek located at Hidden
Page 1 of 3
Valley High School and along Canter Drive in Windsor Hills Magisterial District.
In June 2022, residents along Canter Drive contacted the County and requested
assistance to address erosion issues that they were experiencing from this unnamed
tributary.
Several meetings were held with residents to discuss their erosion concerns.
Department of Development Services staff explained that the erosion from the stream
. on their property could not be addressed through the County's regular drainage
program; however, since this section of unnamed stream had been identified as a
significant source of sediment, it might be possible to construct a stream restoration
project to further the County's MS4 permit compliance. Staff informed the residents that
this process was contingent on obtaining easements from five impacted residential
properties, and from the Roanoke County School Board for work on Hidden Valley High
School property; obtaining state SLAF funding and continued local funding. The
affected residents expressed support for this stream restoration project.
Easement donations were made by the residents and the Roanoke County School
Board. The Board of Supervisors accepted the easements at its meeting on May 9,
2023.
In October 2023, an application for SLAF funding was submitted to DEQ. We have
recently received notification that our grant application was approved. A copy of the
grant notification letter from DEQ, dated January 16, 2024, is filed with our Department
of Development Services and available for review upon request.
DISCUSSION:
The Stream Restoration of a Tributary to Mudlick Creek along Canter Drive project has
been selected by DEQ for a grant in the amount of$531,425 (50% of total estimated
cost of the project of$1,062,850). Constructing this stream restoration project would
support compliance with the County's MS4 permit and would address citizen erosion
concerns.
If the Board of Supervisors appropriates this funding, design and permitting should be
completed by the end of this summer, with solicitation for construction bids in late
summer/early fall 2024, and construction commencing before the end of calendar year
2024.

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 13, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance allocating $65,033 of Roanoke County funds to

(State Route 618), VDOT UPC 113356, Vinton Magisterial
District
SUBMITTED BY: Megan G. Cronise
Assistant Director of Planni
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has requested that a new Appendix
A be executed to include $65,033 of Roanoke County funds transferred from the
Revenue Sharing account to the Grant Fund to satisfy a project deficit for the East
Roanoke River Greenway crossing of the Blue Ridge Parkway along Highland Road
(State Route 618), which is currently under construction.
BACKGROUND:
The TA Set-Aside Program provides eighty percent (80%) Federal funding with a
required twenty percent (20%) percent local match for improvements to non-motorized
transportation that enhance the public's traveling experience, revitalize communities
and improve the quality of life.
The Roanoke River Greenway is envisioned as the backbone of the Roanoke Valley
greenway system and has been designated as the top greenway priority by the
Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission in the 1995, 2007 and 2018 Roanoke Valley
Greenway Plans, all adopted by the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors. The
Roanoke County 2016 Community Strategic Plan also identifies greenways as a high
priority strategic initiative for supporting a multi-modal transportation network and
keeping Roanoke County healthy, clean, and beautiful. The 2022 County of Roanoke
Page 1 of 4
Strategic Planning document supports continuing construction of the Roanoke River
Greenway in the Outdoor Recreation Strategic Target Outcome Area.
The proposed greenway will provide an accessible, 0.30-mile-long, 8 to 10-foot-wide,
paved shared use path along the north side of Highland Road (Route 618). The
greenway will cross underneath the Blue Ridge Parkway through an existing overpass.
The western terminus of the project will connect to a new trailhead constructed with a
previous project (VDOT UPC 91191) at 3226 Highland Road that is owned by the
Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (VRFA) and leased by Roanoke County for
Explore Park. The eastern terminus of the project will connect to a proposed trailhead
(UPC 110155) at 3404 Highland Road that is owned by the Roanoke Valley Resource
Authority (RVRA).
The proposed on-road alignment is supported in the Roanoke Valley/Blue Ridge
Parkway Trail Plan approved in 2015 with a Finding of No Significant Impact in the
