91-122 - RESOLUTION - ENDORSING AN ALTERNATIVE INTERCHANGE DESIGN FOR THE
DULLES TOLL ROAD EXTENSION INTERCHANGE WITH THE ROUTE 7/15

THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as follows:
The alternative free flow interchange design for the Dulles Toll Road Extension interchange with the Route
7/15 Bypass, as submitted by the Toll Road Corporation of Virginia, is hereby endorsed by the Town Council
conditioned upon the following staff comments:
Ramp C should be constructed initially as shaded on the plan, or as originally approved.
As shown, the future construction of Ramp F will necessitate the relocation of Ramp
C as proposed. This situation should be avoided by shifting Ramp C to the west
initially.
Future Ramp F, which will cross initial Ramp D, must have adequate vertical clearance
so that initial Ramps D and A will not have to be reconstructed. A preliminary analysis
is requested to verify this needed clearance.
Future Ramp E as shown appears to necessitate the widening of the bridge structure
over the bypass. This should be addressed or the future ramp should be reconfigured.
4. The following note, which was shown on the previously approved plans, must be
27
reinstated on the plan: "Construction of future extensions of the DTRE directly i~to
the Town of Leesburg will be provided by a joint effort of TRCV and others. TRCV
will construct the required facilities within the TRCV right-of-way." Also, this note or
appropriate agreement should clearly state when the ramps are to be constructed and
that TRCV and~or VDOT will provide for ramp maintenance following construction.
Comment A.3. from Peter Stephenson's letter to Mr. Mullis, dated April 5, 1991,
remains outstanding and must be addressed: Projected traffic volumes and level of
service information must be provided for all interchange movements in order for staff
to further evaluate this alternative interchange design. These volumes should incorporate
existing and planned land use development in the vicinity.
A revised final subdivision plat approval will be required due to the additional right-
of-way to be acquired by TRCV.
