Board asks VDOT for speed study on Route 45 and reviews six-year road priorities; resident urges Crowder Road be prioritized
Summary
The board directed staff to request a VDOT speed study for a curvy section of Route 45 South (possible reduction from 55 to 45 mph) and reviewed the draft secondary six-year road plan; a Crowder Road resident asked the board to move that road to the top priority.
At the planning commission's recommendation, the board voted to request a traffic study from VDOT for a stretch of Route 45 South (from Route 631 Davenport to the Anderson Highway intersection) to determine whether the posted speed should be reduced from 55 to 45 mph given nearby community uses (community centers, homes, businesses). The motion to request the study passed with board assent.
Separately, public works staff presented the draft secondary six-year plan (FY2027--2032) listing 11 road priorities. A resident of Crowder Road detailed decades of deteriorated conditions and asked the board to move that road to the top priority; members acknowledged the long-standing issue and said staff would revisit priorities and report back.
