VDOT has officially committed to paving the remaining gravel section of Sycolin Road this season. I am now coordinating with the agency to ensure this work begins on the anticipated schedule. We will monitor the site during construction to verify that the project meets the necessary safety standards.
Despite unanimous support from the Board of Supervisors and a 6-1 resolution from the Leesburg Town Council, VDOT is refusing to pave Sycolin Road between Leesburg Airport and Belmont Ridge Road (Rt. 659) in Ashburn.
Only .7 of a mile of Sycolin is gravel -- causing flat tires and about 50 accidents. It is an important reliever route for Route 7 and the Dulles Greenway, where tolls are going to skyrocket.
More than 2,600 cars use the road today -- an 80% increase in ONE year.
But VDOT won\'t pave it in place, choosing instead to wait until 2009. Meanwhile, in late July they paved a gravel portion of Edwards Ferry Road with Loudoun County money!
VDOT argues they had "complaints" about Edwards Ferry. So, why don\'t you complain to VDOT about Sycolin Road
Please join me in urging VDOT to Pave Sycolin Road NOW!
Thanks

The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to formally present this record to VDOT district leadership. I have requested a meeting with state officials to discuss why Sycolin Road remains ignored while other local projects receive funding priority.
