McIntire Road Extended is the name given to the City of Charlottesville's portion of the Meadowcreek Parkway. It is a project listed on the MPO's Transportation Improvement Program.
Goals
The project's stated purpose is to:
- Improve traffic flow between Rio Road (Route 631) and Route 250
- Provide more direct access to and from the Charlottesville downtown area
City's portion and requirements
The Meadowcreek Parkway project was split to allow both county and city jurisdictions to accrue separate pools of money for the road.
One of the conditions of City Council is that the road cannot be built without a grade-separated interchange at its intersection with Route 250. As of 2011 That project completed the design process, and the construction is set to begin in the summer of 2011.
Status
VDOT advertised the project for construction bids on December 8, 2009, and the lowest bid of $3.37 million was submitted by Key Construction Co. Inc., based in Clarksville[1]. The Commonwealth Transportation Board did not award a contract until April 2011 because of the length of time it took to complete the Section 106 process. [2] After several parties signed a memorandum of agreement, the CTB awarded the contract. However, they cannot begin construction until after the Corps issues a permit. [3]
Memorandum of Agreement
The Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing the creation of a memorandum of agreement that outlines how impacts to the park and other historic resources will be mitigated. A third draft was circulated among parties in March 2011. [4]
Though the MOA has not yet been signed, it requires an integrated landscape plan and mandates a maximum speed limit of 35 mph on the road. It also requires that VDOT provide photographic documentation and written history of McIntire Park and the McIntire Golf Course for purposes of historic posterity. VDOT also must create an exhibit to commemorate the park and the golf course.
Signatories to the MOA are the Norfolk District of the Army Corps of Engineers, the Virginia State Historic Preservation Officer, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Virginia Department of Transportation, and the City of Charlottesville. Concurring parties are the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce, Albemarle County, the Dogwood Vietnam Memorial Committee, the Piedmont Group of the Sierra Club, Preservation Piedmont, Sensible Alternatives to the Meadowcreek Parkway, the Thomas Jefferson Branch of Preservation Virginia, and Richard Collins. [5]
The MOA was signed on April 22, 2011. [3]
