VDOT informed the Albemarle County School Board today that a traffic study was just completed on the two intersections on Route 250 at Western Albemarle High School and the Henley Middle School / Brownsville Elementary complex in Crozet and that VDOT is recommending immediate placement of new traffic signals at both intersections.
According to VDOT's Jim Utterback, "VDOT will begin designing the signals immediately and this activity could take several weeks in order to obtain boring data, location of utilities, and designing the structure. This will be followed by scheduling contractor installation of the signal."
Several citizen activists helped get this safety issue on VDOT's radar. Among them was WAHS student Charlotte Jump who was profiled in a Daily Progress article on March 27, 2006.
