The document discusses a proposed new stormwater and wastewater consolidation facility and its potential traffic impacts. It outlines different traffic scenarios and options to address traffic concerns, including restricting left turns during peak hours and adding a right turn lane. Traffic analyses project traffic levels in 2037 and compare delays and queue lengths under different scenarios. The presentation seeks public feedback on the project.

Guidelines
• All County vehicles enter and exit via Freds Oak Rd to Fairfax County Parkway
• Per VDOT: A traffic signal will NOT be installed on Fairfax County Parkway
• Traffic Analysis on a 20 year projected growth (year 2037)
• Recommendations are based on peak hour projections
Scenario A
• All site vehicles (County and personal) use Freds Oak Rd to Fairfax County
Parkway
Scenario B
• All County vehicles and a percentage of personal vehicles use Freds Oak Rd to
Fairfax County Parkway
