BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County, Virginia as follows: That the following projects identified as "included in the Fiscal Year 2006- 2007 VDOT Six -Year Improvement Program" are recommended for continuance of funding for the planning and construction of said projects. ♦ Interstate 73 — In a letter dated June 3, 2001, the Board of Supervisors encouraged VDOT to work closely with the impacted citizens to address their concerns and mitigate any negative impacts to them. This is in addition to the resolution 120500-2 passed December 5, 2000 reaffirming the Board's support for 1-73. ♦ Interstate 81— Roanoke County continues to support VDOT's proposed plan to widen 1-81 from its present four lanes. We look forward to continuing our partnership with VDOT to develop regional cooperation for storm water detention facilities, potential utility crossings, and other design issues that could impact Roanoke County's future. ♦ Rte. 111460 (West Main St) —From: Salem City limits, To: 0.10 mi west Rte 830, Technology Dr. — Roanoke County continues to support the ongoing design for improvements in this important commercial and residential development area. Improvements will provide an increase in the level of service, bringing it up to standards required for the expected growth. ♦ Rte. 221 (Bent Mtn Rd) — From: Rte 735, Coleman Rd., To: Rte 688 Cotton Hill Rd. — This project had been removed from the Six -Year Improvement Program but was reinstated in FY 05-06. The residential development that has occurred/expected to occur within this area will place additional demands on the road system that is currently providing an inadequate level of service. ♦ Bridge Replacement Rte. 116 (Jae Valley Rd.) over Back Creek — The VDOT Salem Residency has notified staff that the bridge over Back Creek is in need of repair and we wish to offer our support for improvements to the approaches and bridge replacement. ♦ Rte. 220 Safety/Mobility Improvements — We support continued funding of safety and mobility improvements and crossover closures and desire the continuance of that work. 2. That the following projects identified as "not included in the Fiscal Year 2006- 2007 VDOT Six -Year Improvement Program" have been identified, prioritized, and selected by the Board of Supervisors as extremely important to the growth of Roanoke County and/or for safety improvements and are requested to be included in the Fiscal Year 2008-2013 VDOT Six -Year Improvement Program. 1. Rte. 221 (Bent Mtn Rd) —From: Rte 688 (Cotton Hill Rd), To: Rte 694 (Old Bent Mtn Rd) — Portions of the Rte 221 corridor have been funded for Preliminary Engineering. Roanoke County is requesting Right -of -Way and Construction funding for the extension of the project to extend to the base of Bent Mountain. The much needed improvement project is due to increasing residential demands on corridor. 2. Rte. 11 (Williamson Rd) — From: Rte 117 (Peters Creek Rd), To: Roanoke City limits — Now that Rte 11 has been widened from Plantation Road to Hollins College, this particular section of three -lane road remains to be improved. Additionally, the existing bridge over Carvins Creek does not meet current standards, and the alignment of Florist Road with Rte 11 creates additional congestion and safety concerns. The existing section of road, 1.52 miles in length, is currently a 2 three -lane road with the center lane used for turning movements. Ninety percent of the tracts adjacent to Williamson Road are developed for commercial use. 3. Rte. 115 (Plantation Rd) — From: Roanoke City limits, To: Rte. 11 (Williamson Rd) — This two-lane section of Plantation Road is approximately 2.43 miles in length with numerous secondary road connections. If full funding were not available, various spot improvements, such as turn lanes, alignment and grade improvements would help with safety issues. Additional land is available along the road for future development, which will increase traffic and construction costs in the future. 4. Rte. 220 (Franklin Rd) — From: Rte 419 (Electric Rd), To: Franklin Co. line — Increasing commercial and residential development and commuter traffic have placed transportation demands on this corridor. Additional lanes, improved vertical alignment, and/or spot improvements are needed. 5. Rte. 116 (Jae Valley Rd) — From: Roanoke City limits, To: Franklin Co. line — This road is serving the growing commuter traffic from Franklin County and recreational traffic to Smith Mountain Lake. We need to provide safety and capacity to its users (Note: there is funding for the bridge on Rte 116 in FY 05-06; however need road improvements, as well). 6. Rte. 460 (Challen_ger Ave) — From: Roanoke City limits, To: Botetourt Co. line — The continued residential, commercial, and industrial growth within this corridor has increased traffic demands. 7. Rte. 419 (Electric Rd) — From: Salem City limits, To: Roanoke City limits (US 220) — The need is based on existing traffic volumes, current and anticipated economic development, and accident history. Could focus on operational improvements (e.g. turn lanes, signal coordination, etc.) from Salem City limits to Rte 221; need to add capacity from Rte 221 to US 220. 3. That the following projects identified as "not included in the Fiscal Year 2006- 2007 VDOT Six -Year Improvement Program" are recommended for spot improvements and for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2008-2013 VDOT Six -Year Improvement Program. 3 ♦ Route 419 (Electric Road — Intersection improvements throughout corridor ♦ Route 118 (Airport Road) —Construct left -turn lane at intersection with Rte. 623 (Dent Rd.) ♦ Route 24 (Washington Avenue) — Improvements at the intersection of William Byrd High School ♦ Route 311 (Catawba Valley Road) — Construct left -turn lane at intersection with Route 864 (Bradshaw Road — Mason's Cove area) On motion of Supervisor Church to adopt the resolution, and carried by the following recorded vote: AYES: Supervisors McNamara, Church, Altizer, Flora, Wray NAYS: None A COPY TESTE: .
