The Honorable Robert E. Sevila, Mayor
Town o~ Leesburg
15 West Market Street
Leesburg, Virginia 22075
Dear Mr. Sevila:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the concerns expressed
by the Town of Leesburg in it's Resolution of March 14, 1990.
TRCV commits to the Town of Leesburg as follow~:
TRCV's financial plan submitted to the SCC and the financing
will be for the entire toll road from the merging ramps at the
existing Dulles Toll Road westward to the Route 7/15 Bypass in
Leesburg. Prior to closing such financing, TRCV will have
acquired the necessary Right-of-Way (ROW) for the entire road.
Prior to a%~ering this approach or schedule in any way, we
would consult and reach agreement with the Town of Leesburg.
!
After th~ Notice to Proceed is issued by TRCV to it s Prime
Contractor, a value of approximately $9.6 million in work will
be performed on that portion of the DTRE located in the Town
of Leesburg during the first two years.
The relocated Route 654/Battlefield Parkway interchange 8 is
shown in the current financing plan to be constructed and
opened in the year 2000.
We intend to maintain that schedule if traffic and projected
revenues allow it to occur.
As a part of the Comprehensive Agreement process, TRCV will
keep annual historical traffic records and will annually make
one, five and twenty year projections for all traffic into the
future at each interchange to review and update TRCV's plan
for when these and other improvements are required. In the
event that such updated traffic studies show a Level of
Service at any two approaches to the Sycolin Road-Route 7/15
Bypass less than a Level of Service D, TRCV would update it's
future projections and schedule. Any such adjustments to the
construction schedule for the Route 654 interchange to open
prior to the year 2000, shall be subject to SCC approval.
