New Business
Mr. Randy Hamilton gave out handouts concerning the Virginia Department of
Transportation’s proposals for Pittsylvania County’s VDOT 6-Year Plan, which included a draft
of allocations and approved secondary system construction plans. Mr. Hamilton proposed to
schedule a public hearing for citizen input in June 2012, so a list from the Board members on
roads not on the list that they would like to be considered needed to be submitted to him as soon
as possible.
Bridges that were scheduled for work in Pittsylvania County in the upcoming weeks were
discussed, as well as potential roads the Board members wanted considered for the 6-Year Plan.
The issue with No Through Trucks on SR 734/Ringgold Road was discussed, and Mr.
Martin and Mr. Hamilton suggested it be resubmitted to VDOT in order to get this issue cleared
up.
Mr. Sleeper told the Board of Supervisors to email him a list with the roads they wanted
included in the plan so he could compile the information and send it on to Mr. Hamilton.
Adjournment
Motion was made by Mr. Harville, seconded by Mr. Hagerman, to adjourn, which was
unanimously approved by the Board.
