Greg Adcock, county staff, introduced Leslie Mantiply, senior associate at Dewberry, who summarized the study. Mantiply said the analysis reviewed existing gravity sewers, three county pump stations (Deer Crest, Pine Lake and Ragsdale), and force mains; it used pump-station run times, rainfall data and flow metering to estimate current loads and project future needs. \"We recently completed a sewer capacity analysis study in our 58 West system,\" Mantiply said.

Dewberry modeled future flow using two methods. One approach applied a conservative density (50% of the Westover District) to identified parcels and produced about 0.32 million gallons per day (MGD) average flow; an alternate approach used recent flow-meter data from the City of Danville’s Sandy River interceptor and produced about 0.27 MGD — the consultant said the two methods were close. Peak flows for build-out scenarios ranged roughly 0.8–0.97 MGD.

Mantiply said Deer Crest Pump Station — the westernmost station — would require pump upgrades and electrical/control work to accommodate phase 1 of the mixed‑use development, but that later phases and broader corridor growth would require a larger capital project. She described three alternatives: (1) a long gravity sewer extending ~12.5 miles up Sandy River and Sugar Tree Creek (the most long-term solution), (2) a hybrid that installs an on-site pump station at the mixed‑use site and a force main along U.S. 58 to the Deer Crest area while later constructing a gravity sewer for future lateral connections (the recommended approach), and (3) an approach that would upsize all existing infrastructure (gravity, pumps and force mains). Mantiply said alternative 2 can be phased with a short-term project around $8.5 million and a later $8–9 million investment on the backside; she gave total estimates for the three alternatives of about $21.0 million (alt 1), $17.7 million (alt 2) and $20.5 million (alt 3).

Asked about the Deer Crest station’s visible impacts, Mantiply said short-term work would simply upsize pumps and that the station would look the same; the long-term gravity-sewer option would remove the station entirely. She also said connecting to the Berry Hill/Southern Virginia mega site pump station and heading south to Eden would be possible only with downstream improvements and noted Eden has capacity earmarked for the mega site, making that path less advantageous for the county’s corridor development. \"In the short term, it would just be upsizing the pumps. It would look no different than it is today,\" Mantiply said of Deer Crest.

Board members raised funding and policy questions. Supervisors asked whether installed lines would be upsized to avoid rework later (Mantiply said design was intended to accommodate future build‑out), whether mandatory hookups would be required for properties adjacent to new lines (county staff said there is no current mandatory hookup requirement and that the board could explore the option), and whether maps and raw data could be provided to inform the county’s forthcoming comprehensive plan (Dewberry and county staff agreed to share the materials). The consultant recommended alternative 2 as a balance of short-term connection needs and long-term access for future residential connections; no formal vote was taken during the work session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","A Dewberry consultant presented a sewer-capacity study for the US 58 West area, projecting future flows from a proposed mixed-use development and nearby parcels, and recommended a phased hybrid alternative (force main plus later gravity sewer) estimated at $17.7 million to $18 million in total, with short-term work roughly $8.5 million.","taxTitle","Pittsylvania County, Virginia","taxId",37853,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6229270,"Pittsylvania County supervisors review Safe Streets and Roads for All safety action plan",884,578000,1462000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3464359-9689a503d6840c1d84be6510faadaebb&start=578&end=1462","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3464359-9689a503d6840c1d84be6510faadaebb/thumbnail_578000.jpg","/articles/6229270/Pittsylvania-County/Virginia/Pittsylvania-County-supervisors-review-Safe-Streets-and-Roads-for-All-safety-action-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6229270-cfdc0e7f540fb5eec59c175f917f3d04/orig.mp4?Expires=1770848306&Signature=Pu5ZUKI8YPh3xTc~HsI5~9uV6biPi2SIr5XVkl9HrpDEgmkp7D6W6vD3DxxmxeTG-4qDx0G8iRJl7-GXKDgCryhNKos3NjqhYbsHGLg~U0uc2i1CIaFESC2lf-8q2GOTbbjsCICZfSPSwJ3fg4NQJw9sjN0iSEhEyoOBgySuBhzExHwzqv6Qc4WkP6Nz~u~uJyGxcb~-7TmPaeL-ArWPVgJU-dz2SNcTq7va3gG10A5K9RuBeqYCD0HRTeLo50VpDfqmcT1BYwnEs7-ktRHrmJjdMZFUD2U8UEGarEcK8TOyvYn8lpu8PeTgKqt-aZncHCIaq2b9BP4H9H5R1whlXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Joe Venano of the West Piedmont Planning District Commission and the Danville Metropolitan Planning Organization presented the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) safety action plan to the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors at its May 20, 2025, work session.

Venano told supervisors the infrastructure investment and jobs act set aside $5 billion nationally for the SS4A program and said the MPO’s safety action plan was funded by a $200,000 FHWA award, with $160,000 in direct grant funds and a $40,000 local match ($30,000 from the City of Danville and $10,000 from Pittsylvania County). \"The purpose of the program is to prevent serious injuries and fatalities on our nation's transportation system using the safe systems approach,\" Venano said.

The plan compiles a safety analysis and public outreach conducted with consultant EPRPC and sets four goals: improve streets and speeds for all users; recognize traffic safety as a public-health issue; expand connected walking/rolling/bicycling networks; and improve emergency response and post-crash care. Venano summarized initial data showing 68 fatalities and 494 serious injuries in the MPO area from 2018–2023 and said 57% of those crashes occurred on roughly 8% of the MPO’s roadways, enabling the team to identify a high-injury network.

The presentation highlighted three priority corridor groups with corridor-specific recommendations. For the U.S. 29 corridor the plan repeats earlier MPO recommendations such as roundabouts and turn-lane work and adds lower-cost countermeasures including oversized intersection warning signs, edge treatments, speed feedback signs and flashing yellow arrows where appropriate. Franklin Turnpike recommendations align with a recent VDOT pipeline study and include a new traffic signal at Franklin Turnpike and Orphanage Road, a shared-use path on the corridor’s west side and converting a two-way left-turn lane to a median; the plan also lists speed cameras in school zones and targeted signage. For Kentuck Road the plan restates earlier MPO recommendations (turn-lane and signal work) and adds systemic measures such as centerline rumble strips, wider edge lines and selective enforcement at school zones.

Venano described many of the recommended countermeasures as relatively low-cost, suitable for SS4A implementation grants, and said that if the county adopts the plan it would be able to apply for implementation funding on its own. \"Most of these that came directly out of this plan are generally low cost ones that can be implemented through the implementation grant,\" he said. He also noted the FHWA implementation grant intake was open and that the current cycle closes June 26, 2025.

Board members asked clarifying questions about specific measures and responsibilities. Supervisor Twirl asked, \"What is a stop bar?\" Venano replied, \"A stop bar is basically that white paint on the road that goes along with the stop sign; it adds a little more attention to the drivers.\" Supervisor Bowman, who said he serves as the MPO chair, praised the plan and recommended the board adopt it: \"I would recommend, to the board that we do adopt this.\" The presentation closed with the MPO consultant inviting further questions and offering to provide plan materials to the board.

The work session record does not show a formal motion or vote to adopt the plan during the meeting; board members discussed adoption and next steps but no official board action on adoption was recorded in the work-session transcript.","A planner from the Danville MPO summarized an SS4A-funded safety action plan that identifies high-injury corridors in Danville and Pittsylvania County and recommends low-cost and corridor-specific measures; board members discussed adoption and noted the county can apply separately for implementation grants.","actionData","errors"]
