Tucked in the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors’ packed agenda April 16 were multiple transportation improvements in Providence and Dranesville districts.
Supervisors were slated to approve:
• Two speed humps and six speed tables on Towlston Road in the McLean/Great Falls area. The $90,000 traffic-calming project involves a speed hump adjacent to 1320 Towlston Road and another next to the Shrouse Village Community Association between 1305 and 1319 Towlston Road.
Also planned are speed tables along Towlston Road adjacent to 1324 Towlston Road, 1320 Schuman Court, 1411 Chopin Street, a Fairfax County School Board property next to the Colvin Run Elementary School footpath, and one each at 1435 and 1432 Towlston Road.
• Two “Watch for Children” signs on Horse Shoe Drive in the Vienna/Tysons area. The project will cost $600.
• “$200 Additional Fines for Speeding” signs along Randolph Road in McLean between Baron Road and Melrose Drive. The $500 project will be financed using funds from the Virginia Department of Transportation’s secondary-road-construction budget.
• Two “Watch for Children” signs along Randolph Road in McLean. The county government will finance this $600 project from its traffic-calming program’s budget.
