Planning
Planning Overview
Through analysis, staff determined potential concept designs for the intersection, along with the originally approved Ellipse. Several concepts were considered to see how they impacted intersection safety, impacts to transit facilities and routes, and comfort level for pedestrian and bicycle users. The project team also considered cost and constructability of the various concepts. The concept of a compact intersection seem to address the concerns of the community, continue to move traffic, and could be constructed with a phased approach. This concept was shared with the community through the Alex West effort. The proposed design is dependent on modifications to the I-395 ramps on and off at Seminary Road. Staff is working with the Commonwealth of Virginia to determine the next steps required to move this project forward.
