Overview

County staff was directed to (i) review and provide policy and legal recommendations to change the following property designations in the Comprehensive Plan, and/or to remove the following roadways from the Comprehensive Plan Roadway Plan, and (ii) present its policy recommendations for Board consideration at a future Board meeting after budget adoption: GPIN: 7198-83-9509 16000 JOHN MARSHALL HWY HAYMARKET, VA 20169 Change I-3 portion to POS GPIN: 7697-15-7017 10844 BALLS FORD RD MANASSAS, VA 20109 Change OMU-3 portion to MU-3 GPIN: 7697-15-9218 10830 BALLS FORD RD MANASSAS, VA 20109 Change OMU-3 portion to MU-3 GPIN: 7697-25-2417 10824 BALLS FORD RD MANASSAS, VA 20109 Change OMU-3 portion to MU-3 GPIN: 7697-25-5021 7110 SUDLEY RD MANASSAS, VA 20109 Change OMU-3 portion to MU-3 GPIN: 7697-25-2445 10820 BALLS FORD RD MANASSAS, VA 20109 Change OMU-3 portion to MU-3 Remove the following from the Roadway Plan: Manassas Battlefield Bypass (Lee Highway/Route 29 to Fairfax County) (128’ MA-1 modified) –This roadway is proposed to provide connectivity around the Manassas National Battlefield Park in an effort to accommodate traffic shifts created by the closure of Lee Highway and Sudley Road to through traffic within the Battlefield. In addition, Groveton Road/Featherbed Lane are also being proposed as closed to all through traffic. As such, this bypass provides an inter-county connection. The alignment of this roadway (between Sudley Road and Route 29) is an extension of Sudley Road. There is no need for both the Rt. 29 Alternate and the Manassas Battlefield Bypass. Both have been included in the Roadway Plan to provide alternatives for restricting through traffic through the Manassas Battlefield Park, a goal of the National Park Service. Route 28 Bypass (Sudley Road/Route 234 Business to Fairfax County) (128' existing MA-1 standard modified) – This proposed road will be an extension of Godwin Drive from Sudley Road (Route 234 Business) into Fairfax County. Limited access is proposed for this roadway, and interchanges/ innovative intersections are planned at both Sudley Road (Route 234 Business) and Lomond Drive. The Route 28 Bypass will provide substantial relief to the sections of Nokesville Road (Route 28) within Prince William County, the City of Manassas, and Fairfax County, as well as provide relief to I-66 by improving travel time reliability along these major corridors. A modified MA-1 standard is planned for this project. Sudley Road/Route 234 (James Madison Highway/Route 15 to Manassas National Battlefield Bypass) (106’ MA-2 standard) – This roadway provides an important east-west connection in the northern/western end of the County. After the Manassas Battlefield Bypass or the Rt. 29 Alternate bypass is built, the existing sections of Sudley Road that traverse through the Manassas National Battlefield Park are proposed to close to through traffic and only be available to traffic with destinations within the Park. The recommended right-of-way corresponds to the MA-2 standard typical section. Heathcote Boulevard (James Madison Highway/Route 15 to Antioch Road) (77’ RL-2 standard). – In order to provide additional east-west capacity in the western end of the County, Heathcote Boulevard parallels both I-66 and Route 55 (John Marshall Highway) and is designed to carry local residential traffic north of I-66 to the employment and commercial areas along Lee Highway (Route 29) in Gainesville. This roadway is a 2-lane section within a reduced right of way to help serve as an emergency access to the hospital. The extension of this roadway will be concurrent with development of GPIN 7298-35-4814. The alignment will be coordinated by the County and developer. If the roadway is extended before the development of GPIN 7298-35-4814, the County shall work with the adjacent property owner to minimize impacts to the operation of the existing farm.
