The Leesburg Residential Traffic Commission convened on March 4, 2025, to discuss critical traffic studies and ongoing development projects that directly impact the community. A significant focus of the meeting was the traffic impact analysis related to several key areas, including Virginia Village, Crescent Park, White Oak, and Church Market. The commission emphasized the importance of accurate data in these studies, particularly highlighting concerns raised during planning commission discussions.

One of the major developments discussed was the Meadowbrook community project at the intersection of Evergreen and Route 15. This project, which includes 64 townhouses and a commercial facility, is currently facing challenges in meeting new stormwater regulations. The developers are eager to move forward, and a meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to address engineering issues that have arisen.

The commission also noted that while some applications are under review for rezoning and town plan amendments, they have not yet been approved. This uncertainty affects how traffic demand models are calculated, as they rely on the highest allowed density for future projections.

As the meeting progressed, the commission encouraged open dialogue, inviting questions and further discussion on the traffic study. The ongoing conversation reflects the community's commitment to ensuring that development aligns with traffic management and safety needs.

In conclusion, the outcomes of this meeting underscore the importance of thorough traffic analysis and proactive planning in accommodating Leesburg's growth while addressing community concerns. The commission remains dedicated to facilitating development that meets both regulatory standards and the needs of residents.
