From YouTube: VDOT Update - BOS Meeting - April 27, 2022
Description
At Wednesday's Board of Supervisor meeting, Virginia Department of Transportation Resident Engineer Rebecca Worley provided the Chesterfield BOS with a VDOT update, including upcoming VDOT maintenance activities.
D
D
So
you'll
see
here.
We
have
over
4
400
lane
miles
and
you
can
see
the
breakout
of
interstate
primary
and
secondary
routes,
385
structures
and
bridges
in
chesterfield
county,
and
we
are
the
second
largest
road
network
in
virginia
second
only
to
fairfax
county,
and
I
will
add
that
that
inventory
of
4
400
lane
miles
is
probably
a
little
outdated
because
we
take
in
anywhere
from
30
to
40
additional
lane
miles
in
chesterfield
county
annually
through
our
street
acceptance
process.
D
So,
just
so,
you
can
see
the
chesterfield
residency
and
the
three
counties
that
we
represent.
This
is
a
breakdown
of
our
area
headquarters
that
we
have
performing
maintenance
in
the
three
counties.
We
have
one
area
headquarters
in
amelia
county,
one
in
powhatan
and
five
in
chesterfield,
geographically
broken
out
to
serve
chesterfield
county.
D
D
D
This
is
a
brief
overview
of
some
of
the
maintenance
services
that
we
offer
I'll
dive
in
a
little
bit
deeper
into
a
couple
of
them,
but
just
give
a
general
overview
on
some,
so
in
terms
of
site
distance
improvements
at
our
residency
level.
This
encompasses
things
like
tree
trimming
to
improve
site
distance
at
intersections
or
on
subdivision
streets.
Our
roadside
management
group
that
I
mentioned
is
housed
at
our
richmond
district.
They
handle
a
lot
of
our
wholesale
tree
trimming
on
longer
routes.
They
get
better
prices
per
shoulder
mile
to
do
that.
D
D
D
We
certainly
appreciate
that
system
because
it
helps
to
notify
us
of
specific
issues
that
citizens
might
see
every
day
that
we
might
not
have
our
eyes
on
on
a
daily
basis,
but
our
main
focus
really
is
on
preventative
maintenance.
So,
while
we
use
that
work
order
system
to
try
to
get
those
specific
maintenance
concerns,
all
of
our
area
headquarters
maintain
a
six-month
work
plan
where
they're
looking
in
advance
of
maintenance
work
that
needs
to
be
performed
on
roadways
and
try
to
get
that
preventative
maintenance.
D
Work
done
to
reduce
the
number
of
work
orders
that
we
have
before
they
become
problems
that
citizens
notice
also
this
time
of
year,
we're
preparing
for
our
paving
schedule
and
so
we're
doing
any
needed.
Maintenance
work
on
routes
that
are
on
our
upcoming,
paving
schedule
like
pipe
replacements,
ditching
pulling
shoulders
to
make
sure.
Once
we
have
that
resurfaced
roadway
that
we
have
proper
drainage
to
maintain
that
asset.
D
D
D
D
In
addition,
just
to
point
out,
we
do
handle
sight
distance
complaints
out
of
cycle.
So
while
we
do
those
three
routine
mowing
cycles
throughout
the
year,
if
we
review
or
hear
through
our
work
order
system
of
any
site,
distance
complaints,
we'll
certainly
go
out
and
cut
those,
even
if
it's
not
during
the
regular
mowing
cycle
to
ensure
that
we
have
sight
distance
and
then
one
final
mowing
practice
that
we're
doing
this
time
of
year
is
maintaining
storm
water
management
basins.
D
D
We
have
leased
a
sweeper
truck
within
the
last
couple
weeks
that
we
plan
to
have
for
at
least
four
months.
We
may
extend
the
lease
further
than
that
and
we'll
be
addressing
those
annual
sweeping
routes
at
night.
Those
higher
volume,
roadways
we'll
be
doing
at
night
and
then
we'll
be
running
it
also
during
the
day,
addressing
work,
orders
subdivision
streets,
lower
volume,
roadways,
but
we're
running
that
sweeper
truck
20
hours
a
day
to
10
hour
shifts
with
our
crews
for
the
next
three
to
four
months.
D
A
C
A
A
D
So
we
do
have
several
vacancies
within
our
residency
where
currently,
I
think
we're
down
eight
operators,
that's
better
than
we
were
this
time
last
year
I
will
say,
but
it
is
a
challenge
for
sweeping
services.
In
particular,
we've
identified
just
a
couple
operators
who
are
fully
dedicated
to
that
for
our
entire
residency
to
try
to
limit
the
impact
of
any
one
area
headquarters.
A
I
think
it's
just
helpful
for
our
citizens
to
realize
I
mean
as
we're
prioritizing
and
you
know
looking
at
workforce
issues
right
now.
I
can
tell
you
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
feel
the
same-
that
sometimes
these
are
the
things
that
we
get
the
biggest
complaints
about.
It's
like,
why
isn't
something
been
mowed?
Why
isn't
this?
And
so
I
think,
recognizing
that
we've
all
got
to
be
patient.
You
know
as
everyone's
addressing
just
labor
issues
in.
D
D
D
This
is
a
photo
of
the
ian's
road
bus
turn
around.
We've
got
a
little
more
shoulder
stone
to
add
in
the
next
week,
but
this
is
what
it
looked
like
on
monday.
This
was
a
project
that
you
all
added
to
your
secondary
six-year
plan
last
year
to
allow
for
a
turnaround
area
for
school
buses
at
the
end
of
this
road.
D
So
all
that
leading
up
to
the
2022
paving
program,
so,
as
I
mentioned,
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
that
we
do
is
in
preparation
for
paving.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
drainage
system
has
been
maintained
properly
so
that
when
that
paving
comes
in,
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
that
road
for
a
long
time.
D
They
vary
depending
on
the
roadway
classification,
whether
it's
interstate
all
the
way
down
to
low
volume,
secondaries
and
pavement
ratings
are
collected
on
a
five-year
rotation
for
low
volume,
secondaries
and
then
they're
collected
on
an
annual
basis
for
all
other
routes
for
interstates
primaries
and
high
volume.
Secondaries.
D
D
I
will
add
that
of
these,
it's
a
hundred
a
little
over
117
total
lane
miles
in
chesterfield
county.
This
encompasses
all
treatment
types,
so
it's
plant
mix
asphalt
what
you
would
typically
see
a
mill
and
fill
operation,
but
it's
also
latex
cape
seal
or
slurry
and
surface
treatment
in
chesterfield
county.
D
Previously,
we've
done
a
lot
of
plant
mix
and
very
little
of
the
thinner,
more
preventative
treatments,
we're
trying
to
transition
to
do
more
of
those
thinner
preventative
treatments
because
they
cost
much
less
than
plant
mix
and
they
extend
the
pavement
life
and
so
particularly
on
secondary
roads.
We
see
that
as
an
opportunity
over
the
coming
years
to
improve
our
secondary
system
and
our
pavement
ratings
in
terms
of
schedule
resurfacing.
D
D
D
D
C
You
know
need
need.
Repayment
needs
some
work
and
and
really
need
some
more
resources.
And
when
I
look
at
you
know,
4
400
lane
miles
and
look
at
117.,
I'm
I'm
grateful
for
the
117.
Don't
get
you
know,
don't
get
get
me
wrong,
but
we
we've
got
to
and
I'm
sure
you've
seen
the
the
map
that
vdot
has
on
road
ratings
and
particularly
on
our
secondary
roads.
C
Let
other
board
members
speak
and
have
a
chance
to
talk
if
they
have
comments,
but
we
we
certainly
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
and
thank
you
for
being
responsive
when
citizens
want
to
talk
about
their
neighborhood.
I
really
appreciate
the
personal
attention
you
give
when
you
come
out
with
those
citizens.
So
thank
you
for
that.
E
F
E
F
Yeah
again,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Since
some
you
know,
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
roads
that
need
resurfacing.
I
will
ask
a
question:
is
there
a
particular
location
on
a
website
that
the
community
can
go
and
look
at
to
see
what
the
paving
schedule
looks
like
for
the
roads
that
you've
identified
that
they're
going
to
be
repaved?
I
imagine,
for
example,
some
of
the
neighborhoods
that
are
going
to
be
touched,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
aging
neighborhoods
that,
quite
frankly,
the
the
the
roads
are
cracking
like
as
described
like
an
alligator's
back.
D
D
We
don't
generally
advertise
what
we've
submitted
for,
paving
until
we
know
what
our
allocation
is
going
to
be
I'm
certainly.
As
mr
winsley
said,
you
know
we
meet
with
people
regularly
to
talk
about
their
subdivisions.
We'll
certainly
say
you
know:
we've
targeted
your
subdivision
for
paving
on
future
years.
I'd
be
happy
to
share
that
information.
The
subdivisions
that
we've
identified
that
are
in
need,
but
we
can't
really
commit
to
specifically
what
year
it's
going
to
be
done
until
we
receive
that
allocation.
D
B
Mr
chair,
so
again
to
echo
the
chairs
sentiment,
I'm
not
attacking
you
just
questions.
I
know
people
ask
me
questions
sometimes,
and
I
take
them
as
they're
directed
at
me,
but
just
trying
to
help
people
understand,
as
I
said
earlier,
trash
and
traffic
and
that
traffic
problems
that
I
typically
hear
about.
Surprisingly
enough
are
not
because
people
are
stopped
in
traffic
they're
because
of
people
doing
things
on
the
road
that
they
shouldn't
be
doing,
which
obviously
you're
not
responsible
for
enforcement,
but
the
trash
part
of
it.
B
If
I
heard
what
you
said
correctly,
you
typically
do
trash.
Well,
you
cut
probably
three
times
a
year
and
you
typically
pick
up
the
trash
just
before
you
cut,
so
you
don't
make
a
lot
of
confetti
when
you
cut
the
trash
or
cut
the
grass,
and
that
happens
between
may
and
november,
and
we're
coming
off
of
a
season
from
that
november.
To
this
april
time,
where
we've
heard
a
lot
from
our
citizens
about
trash
because
it
goes
with
trash
pickup
I
mean
with
cutting
for
you,
so
it
gets
bad.
A
B
You
need
to
talk
to
your
board
of
supervisors
representative
everything
somewhere
in
the
vdot
response
is
well.
You
got
to
start
with
your
board
of
supervisors,
member
okay
and
some
of
the
things
that
frustrate
me
with
that.
Are
things
like
speed
bumps,
no
matter
how
many
studies,
no
matter
what
I
do
because
of
snow
removal,
the
snow
can
get
taller
than
the
speed
bumps
you,
the
trucks
can't
see
them.
The
plows
can't
see
them.
It
tears
up,
plow
blades
it
tears
up
speed
bumps.
B
We
pretty
much
don't
put
speed
bumps
in
vdot
roadways,
but
instead
of
telling
that
to
our
citizens,
they
say.
Well,
you
got
to
start
with
your
board
of
supervisors
representative,
which
is
frustrating
for
me,
because
I
know
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
speed
bump
if
we
can
find
a
way
to
synchronize
our
communication
with
the
citizens
of
the
chest
field
so
that
we're
both
delivering
the
same
message.
B
If
that
takes
a
little
bit
extra
time,
I'd
be
willing
to
sit
down
with
somebody
from
vdot,
but
I
just
like
to
be
able
to
have
our
messaging
the
same,
because
I
think
it
frustrates
our
citizens
when
they
get
one
answer
from
one
person
and
another
answer
from
somebody
else.
So
if
we
can
work
together
on
that,
I
think
that
could
cut
down
a
lot
of
the
frustration
that
I
face
with
my
citizens.
In
my
district
sure.
D
Thank
you,
yeah
I'll,
add
in
terms
of
litter,
pickup
we
you're
right.
We
do
pick
up
in
advance
of
the
mowing
cycle.
That's
a
focus
of
ours.
This
past
february,
I
believe
we
also
paid
for
a
round
of
litter
pickup
on
all
the
primary
routes
in
all
three
of
our
counties.
So
that
was
another
concerted
effort
that
we
did.
D
I
understand
there's
a
lot
of
litter
other
places
as
well,
but
we
tried
to
prioritize
that
in
terms
of
traffic
calming
and
speed
limits,
you're
right,
we
do
have
to
have
an
engineered
study
to
change
a
speed
limit.
Certainly,
citizens
don't
always
agree
with
what
our
traffic
engineers
determine
that
the
speed
limit
should
be
posted
at
at
least
in
terms
of
my
staff,
I'm
hoping
that
we're
coordinating
closely
with
cdot
when
determining
whether
to
pursue
additional
fine
signs
for
speeding.
