SJ 411 Study; I-66 widening in Arlington and Fairfax Counties.
Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Study; I-66 widening. Requests the Virginia Department of Transportation to study the proposed widening of Interstate Route 66 in Arlington and Fairfax Counties. Specifically, the Department shall seek an amendment to the Transportation Improvement Program for the Washington Metropolitan Region to include funding provided in the Transportation Development Plan for the study of widening Interstate Route 66 and include the project in the Constrained Long Range Plan for the National Capital Region to allow, upon approval of the amendment, for the conduct of a study of the proposed widening of Interstate Route 66 within Arlington and Fairfax Counties between the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge and Interstate Route 495. The study shall include the origins and destinations of people currently using Intestate Route 66, travel demand forecasts, and all options for meeting this demand. In conducting the study, the Department shall consider, but not necessarily confine its investigations to, (i) a no-build option, in which no changes are made to the current design of the highway; (ii) a Transportation Systems Management approach, in which minor changes are made to entrance and exit ramps to improve transit service or travel flow, rather than major expansion or reconfiguration of the roadway itself; (iii) the implementation of high-occupancy vehicle lanes in both directions on Interstate Route 66 within the Capital Beltway during peak travel hours; and (iv) the conduct of all analyses required for the appropriate environmental documentation, including an analysis of the social and economic impacts of the proposed project on adjoining communities, an environmental analysis of air and noise impacts, and an analysis of the fiscal impact of the proposed project on local governments. The Department shall conduct its study in a manner that ensures the involvement of local governments and the general public. The study shall take into consideration the independent and on-going studies conducted on the extension of Metrorail service and the establishment of a bus rapid transit alternative in the Dulles corridor. The Department shall submit an interim status report by October 20, 2002, to the Governor and the 2003 Session of the General Assembly, and it shall complete its work in a timeframe as needed for preparation of thorough documentation, and submit its final findings and recommendations to the Governor and the General Assembly.
