Minutes of CIA Traffic Advisory Committee
15 September 1983
1. The second meeting of the CIA Traffic Advisory Committee was held at
the McLean Community Center on 15 September 1983 at 6:30 p.m. A list of
attendees is attached.
2. Mr. Conley, Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation (VDH&T),
stated that the minutes of the first meeting contained an error. The
correction is that the interchanges to be studied should state that the CIA-123
interchange will be studied rather than the Route 193/1-495 interchange.
3. Copies of the revised Committee charter were disseminated. The
revisions reflected the addition of the Ad Hoc Committee as a member and the
requested change to the procedure for calling special meetings.
4. The major subject of the meeting was a presentation of the scope of
work for the consultant study by Mr. Fowler, Dewberry and Davis. Mr. Fowler
spoke to the attached outline and milestone chart. He stated that, while the
detailed man-hour loading and scheduling was not yet complete, he estimated
120 days to complete the preliminary design and evaluation of candidate
alternatives.
5. Mr. Fowler affirmed that the VDH&T data provided to the consultant
would be verified as part of the inventory at the beginning of the study. The
traffic analysis would then proceed by using the data to assess the level of
service at the five interchanges under each of the three distribution
alternatives, i.e., all expansion traffic assigned to the Parkway, all
expansion traffic assigned to Route 123, and expansion traffic distributed
between Route 123 and the Parkway. The third Committee meeting would occur at
the end of this analysis to present the results.
6. The consultant would then proceed to develop and evaluate preliminary
alternatives for correcting the deficiencies at the interchanges. There would
be a review with VDH&T and CIA during this phase to ensure that alternatives
being pursued were consistent with the objectives of CIA and VDH&T.
Mr. Maxfield expressed concern that some alternatives might not come to the
attention of the Committee. 0 responded that all alternatives
presented to CIA and VDH&T would be discussed with the Committee as well as the
criteria used to select among them. Mr. Pant, Fairfax County, stated that
general experience in County Transportation planning has shown that the range
of alternatives is limited.
7. Mr. Bozarth, National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC), reiterated
his concerns for the lack of attention to traffic management strategies in the
analysis. He pointed out that such planning is contrary to the Regional
planning principles supported by the Council of Governments and the NCPC.
Mr. Baseman, VDH&T, restated the Department's position, i.e., in lieu of any

enforcement authority, the State was compelled to design against what they
consider the most likely traffic scenario. Mr. Maxfield supported the VDH&T
position.
8. Mr. Bozarth questioned whether the environmental assessment would
occur during or after the development of preliminary alternatives. Mr. Fowler
stated that environmental factors would be considered throughout the design
process but the formal environmental document would be prepared by VDH&T after
submission of the design report.
9. Mr. Conley said that the contract would now be finalized based on the
scope of work presented. This could take until 15 October 1983. Based on Mr.
Fowler's time estimate, this would place completion of the traffic analysis
phase at about 1 December 1983. stated that an advisory letter would STAT
be sent to Committee members as soon as a completion date for the analysis
phase has been established. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
