REQUESTING MODIFICATION OF PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS
TO ROUTE 7 EAST FROM CATOCTIN CIRCLE TO THE EAST
CORPORATE LIMITS.
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transpor-
tation has proposed plans for improvements to Route 7 East from
Catoctin Circle to the East Corporate Limits calling for a four-
lane divided roadway with left turn movements controlled by a
raised median; and
WHEREAS, this Council considers a design providing a four-
lane roadway with an additional center traffic lane for unre-
stricted left turn movements (except at Fort Evans Road, Plaza
Drive and Sycolin Road where marked left turn storage lanes may
be appropriate) to be a safe and practical way to meet the traf-
fic demands of this road.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg,
Virginia, as follows:
The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation is
requested to revise its construction design for improvements to
Route 7 East from Catoctin Circle to the East Corporate Limits
to provide a four-lane roadway with an additional center traffic
lane and a traffic control plan providing generally unrestricted
left turn movements, except at Fort Evans Road, Plaza Drive and
Sycolin Road where marked left turn storage lanes may be appro-
priate.
