“The idea is to come up with a plan for each village so that if the need arose we could then go to the Planning Commission or the Board of Supervisors and talk to them. We want to use these meetings to help each village name collectively what needs to be done,” she said.
“We: don’t want people in the city somewhere designing routes for trucks to a truck port in Front Royal. We also don’t„4vant to stop what’s already there bucwe don’t want to get a four lane in there either,” she said. “We must look at discouraging more traffic and how to control the traffic that already exists.”
Although RLEP is sponsoring the open house and working with villages toward a plan they maintain it’s not about what RELP wants. Rather they hope to help village communities work together and meet to generate interest in future planning. They’re providing the forum.
In general, 1995 traffic counts around Flint Hill amounted to 3,000 vehicles per day. Mr. Audette’s report said there are two techniques used to in rural areas to calm traffic. They are: altering a road design so the traveler slows down; and creating a “sense of place” so the traveler is aware a village has been entered and that the village is unique. He also outlined a step-by-step process by which villages can survey the need for traffic calming and the outcome if nothing is done by the village.
He said the next step, which is what RLEP is now trying to bring about, is for residents to talk amongst themselves and decide whether they are interested in undertaking a traffic calming study.
RLEP will hold an open house on May 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Flint Hill fire hall for that purpose. They hope the open house will draw a large crowd.
