HB 495 Interstate System interchanges.

Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Interstate System interchanges and exit control. Prohibits the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner from exercising the power of eminent domain to acquire any portion of or interest in the property of an existing commercial establishment if the sole purpose of such acquisition is to control or limit access to commercial establishments located within 300 feet of any segment of the interstate highway system, except to the extent necessary to meet federal requirements. At those interstate highway interchange locations where the value of land, buildings, and improvements has a fair market value of $1 million or more, the Commonwealth Transportation Board is required to designate those interchanges as "urban," provided such designation does not conflict with any federal statute or regulation. The act becomes effective on July 1, 2001, unless, prior to that date, the Virginia Department of Transportation receives notice from the federal government that the provisions of this act will reduce or jeopardize federal funding of interstate highway construction in the Commonwealth. This is a duplicate of SB 110.
