Traffic: What is up with this?

You don't...weird...

 

The completion of 4-laning Waxpool, including the light at Ashburn Village/Waxpool, betweem Faulker Pkwy and Unbridled Way (just past Regency where the 4-lane Waxpool begins) was supposed to start this spring. The cost was part of a matching fund program between the county and VDOT. The county approved the funding last year so that the project would begin this spring. Over the winter, VDOT cut their funding programs which affected this project.
So, the construction has been pushed back. I'm trying to get answer as to when it will start now.

 

It has already started and they have the money for this project but not enough for pacific. Unless the state comes up with something this special session everything will get pushed back for years except waxpool. The stupidest thing was the last board not approving Kincora and if it is built by right there will be no Gloucester connection in our lifetime. Only develpers are going to be able to build roads if they are treated right.

Waxpool right now they have delivered pieces for the utilities and were putting them under waxpool as we speak.

 

Lee-
You are confusing me. A few posts ago, in response to a question about the light at Waxpool/Ashburn Village, you posted:

"They are widening waxpool but it is many years away for a light. As a matter of fact they are putting in utilities so expect one lane at times for several years to come like this afternoon."

I spoke to Charles Yudd this morning who informed me about the delay due to the lack of funds. Who is your source saying the money is there, and how current is that information??

 

Well they are working on it and have delivered equipment and all kinds of utility boxes. My source is Charles who is the county guy in charge of it and he says it is fully funded and Pacific is the under funded problem.

The other part of Waxpool if you would read my post properly from the skating rink to 28 is the nightmare part that is a zillion years away for any real solution.

 

Question: Is it possible to have volunteers from the community to ease the traffic at Ashburn Village Blvd and Waxpool Rd. You can count me in, and as a community we all share this pain, what can we do to change this situation? and take matter in our hand.

 

If you mean volunteer to serve on a committee to work on Waxpool Road issues, then yes, I do believe there will be an opportunity.
I met with two Loudoun Supervisors and some county staff members this morning to look at putting a group together.
I believe something will happen within a few months.
Please send me your contact info and I'll let you know when I hear more.

 

Are you referring to Chuck Aker? When did he tell you this? If it was before VDOT made it's last round of cuts, then that might be old information.

I hope it moves forward soon. We need the light there!

 

If you were out on waxpool today it was down to one lane to put some utilities underground. I don't know about any traffic signals most likely that will not happen until ashburn village drive is widen in front of the future development on the northwest corner which I heard is on hold. , just the fact waxpool is under construction and funded and pacific is the real problem for funding.

Just look at the 35 million dollar boondogle flex project on the other corner. Build a misplaced development by a bad neighbor developer and you will have an empty project. Zero leases at this flex space and that should be a lesson to all bad neighbor developers. You will go broke when you build misplaced by right developments even with a minor zoning change. Real true blue good neighbor developers always win

 

I like those flex buildings. They're low-rise, in an appropriately zoned location, and, unlike the rezoned residential area across the street, will add to the tax base instead of detract from it. :whip:

 

Only one thing they are finished and empty and the other mis zoned flex next door is over half empty. That is what happens when you allow our planning commissioners who are not professionals with no successful track record in planning look at developments far beyond their knowledge and capabilities you end up with 35 million dollar abortions. And we are going to see a lot more of this with NO roads with this latest group of civilian planners who have no business making decisions they are not qualified for that can amount to billions of dollars worth of real estate. Just wait and see the mess they make out of the Kincora property and you will still not see any gloucester connected to Nokes.

 

You know Steve when you want the tour and meet the builders engineers and professional planners and clients I work with you are welcome at any time to take it. I walk my talk. Besides you live in a PUD designed by professional planners and a good neighbor developer. not citizen planners.

What amazes me is people move out here into a professionally designed pud and all you do is ***** ***** ***** about the builder the roads outside the puds and most of the junk you see is built by right and approved by citizen planners with not a clue what they are doing and some BOS members that think the county should be built by right, especially Andrea McGimsey who are going to make a big mess out of the county with their continued by right approvals which come with no extra roads or anything else. THe best parts of Loudoun were planned and designed by first God and real succesful professional planners not the citizens that moved here into the already designed homes and neighborhoods and then think they know more then the professionals. If they did why would they move here in the first place.

Steve you are welcome to take the tour or are you afraid and scared you might actually learn something???????? You like to talk big here hidden behind your keyboard but never have you taken me up on my offer which I have extended several times before. I am not afraid to show you what I do and the people I work with.

 

Steve, sign on for the tour with Lee...then maybe you can understand what he vents about and have a meeting of the minds Nothing but a tad of your personal time...

 

Steve you are missing the point generally people in private industry do a better job and many times cheaper then what the government does. Example a developer in Houston needed to build a large bridge over a river and he was required to only build one two lane side of what eventually would be two two lane identical bridges. He offered to the county to build both identical bridges instead of the one he just had to build. He offered to do it at cost. The county turned him down. So he built only the bridge he had to. The county several years later built the second identical bridge and the developer wold laugh his butt off on the fact that second identical bridge cost the tax payers almost double what he built his bridge for. You see this happen all too much when the government gets involved.

 

Oh Steve the tour is open anytime and don't be afraid nobody is going to hurt you I promise

Maybe Brassy wants to take the tour and as a matter of fact and just for you Brassy, Dalyn is having a large broker open house at my Castle home on rt 7 and I can get you a special invite and I am not joking next tuesday between 11:30 and 2 pm There will be lunch and wine if you care to do so.

So take me up on this offer girl

 

Steve you are a very excitable and testy person aren't you just like your buddy Linux. THis broadlands moderator thankless but tough job really must get to you two. You two seem to need a long vacation from this moderating. And wasn't it you criticizing one of our fine and paid loudoun workers for the work they did on the loudoun government website. To the point you wouldn't let it go and the guy shows up here mad as hell at you. hmmmmm So be careful where you throw those stones
