VDOT MEETING Aug. 30, 1-3 p.m. Warren Green Bldg, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton

The Route 29 New Baltimore Advisory Group will hold its first meeting in Warrenton on Aug. 30 to begin discussions about solutions to improve safety and efficient movement of traffic for local and long distance users on the Route 29 corridor between Warrenton and Prince William County.

The advisory panel is comprised of Fauquier County and Prince William County officials and representatives of the business community and the neighborhoods in the New Baltimore and Vint Hill areas. The group will meet monthly to assist the Virginia Department of Transportation, Fauquier County and the community to reach a consensus on strategies for improvements to the corridor and at several intersections where the need for safety and operational improvements have been identified. 

The goal of the group is to develop collaborative solutions that will ultimately become projects to improve safety, ensure access and spur economic development while preserving the efficient movement of local and long-distance traffic along the corridor.

 The meeting will be held from 1-3 p.m. in the Board of Supervisors Meeting Room at the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The meeting is open to the public to observe the discussions, but public comments will not be taken during the meeting.

 Information about the current advisory group’s work as well as documents from previous studies of this section of Route 29 are availale on the Route 29 Corridor, Fauquier County study page on VDOT’s website. The advisory group meetings will be recorded and the videos will be available on VDOT’s YouTube channel and via a link on the study webpage.
