Loudoun Transportation Plan Extension

The Loudoun Times-Mirror (via WTOP Radio) reports that Loudoun's Planning Commission has received more time to work on updating the countywide transportation plan.

"Although county supervisors had given the Planning Commission a deadline of late June, commissioners said reviewing the plan was taking more time than expected. Commissioners created a new work schedule, which went before supervisors July 21 for approval. The new schedule sets a fall deadline for a decision.

"Planning Commission Chairwoman Peggy Maio (Blue Ridge) said she thinks the new transportation plan review schedule is "realistic." Before the June 25 deadline, commissioners had been meeting three nights a week. Maio said that would not be necessary to continue review.

“Some supervisors said allowing more time to review the transportation plan would cause delays in review of other county projects."
