Route 7 west of the Town of Leesburg in order to preserve the intended limited access function and trip

Alternative 2 of the Route 7 Limited Access Implementation Plan to the Board of Supervisors'
Transportation Committee; and
WHEREAS, said proposed Implementation Plan proposes a connection of a Route 7 parallel
access road through the Shenstone subdivision which connects to Children's Center Road and Catoctin
Circle within the Town of Leesburg; and

essential need for connection to Children's Center Road and Catoctin Circle; and

with regard to the proposed Alternative 2.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as follows:

connects to Children's Center Road and Catoctin Circle or which adversely impacts the road network of the
town in any manner.
SECTION II. The Town of Leesburg objects to the Toll Brothers request to extend the cul-de-
sac's length now allowed by Loudoun County.
SECTION IlL If the Children's Center Road/Catoctin Circle proposal is pursued over the strong
objection of the Town, the following shall be prerequisites to any final determination:
1. Re-run the VDOT Transportation Model for the Town with the Children's Center connection,
and
2. Prepare a traffic study showing where traffic signals, turn lanes, roadway widening, sidewalks
and roadway geometries would be needed because of added traffic, and
3. Specify funding sources and timing of needed improvements, and
4. Secure a Town Plan Amendment to amend the functional classification of appropriate roads as
indicated in the Transportation Element based on the results of the re-run of the VDOT
Transportation Model.

of Loudoun County.
