Dear Mr. Pant:
Thank you for your letter of July 18 regarding the CIA's off-site road
improvements in connection with their expansion program. The engineering
studies for these road improvements prepared over the past several months
,have resulted in two, alternatives for improving Route 123. Alternative 2
provides for two at-grade signalized intersections and Alternative 4 provides
for,gra,d,e.separation structures at Georgetown Pike and the CIA entrance.
Due to the projected traffic volumes for the year 2005, both of these
alternatives require six lanes on Route 123. In an effort to reduce citizen
opposition to six lanes on'Route 123, which has been voiced at the CIA Traffic
Advisory Committee meetings, four lanes will be constructed on Route 123 ini-
tially and the CIA will implement a traffic management system whereby the
existing peak hour vehicle arrival/departure rate at each entrance will not
be exceeded.
These improvements, plus'the CIA's traffic management system, should
provide adequate traffic service on Route 123 until the six lanes noted in
the Statewide Transportation Plan for the Year 2005 are implemented.
However, if the CIA does not enforce their traffic management system, then
the agreement provides for CIA funds to be used for adding the third lane
on Route 123 from the vicinity of Potomac School Road to Merchants Lane.
The present thinking at the Department and CIA is to grade the 123
roadway for the future six lanes when the four lanes are constructed initially.
This will eliminate the need to disturb any existing pavement when Route 123
is six-laned and the $500,000 should be adequate to cover the paving cost.
As soon as the agreement between the CIA and the Department is executed,
we plan to proceed with an Environmental Assessment of the two alternatives.
Upon completion of that study, the CIA will hold a public meeting to discuss
the alternatives.

Dear Mr, Fitzwater: '
Reference,'is made to your letter of June 25 and the Agreement covering traffic
management at CIA. The, Agreement is satisfactory with the Department except
for the following:
Article I
l.a Last paragraph - The Department must insure that the arrival
and departure rates for each entrance are not exceeded 'by
any long term changes in traffic patterns. Therefore, I
request that the following paragraph be substituted in the
Agreement.
"It is understood that changes in roadway traffic volumes
may occur, however, if these changes alter the basic
intent of the foregoing, then the CIA will be required'
to install the additional lanes noted in l.c."
l.b Substitute District Engineer, Northern Virginia District,
VDH&T, for Regional Administrator - - -
l.c Seventh line -change "and" to "or"
Article II
2.b Delete the word "arrival,".

CIA Headquarters -
Fairfax County
The draft agreement covering traffic management strategies that
you left with me on May 21 has been reviewed. The general content of
the agreement is satisfactory, however, we have revised and added some
sections for clarification.
In lieu of a total peak hour arrival rate of vehicles for the CIA
headquarters, we have specified a peak hour arrival and departure rate
for each entrance that serves your facility. I feel this is the only
way the Department can be assured that additional CIA traffic will not
be diverted to one or more of your entrances during peak hour.
If the revised agreement meets with your approval, please have the
original prepared and executed and return it to me for execution on the
Department's behalf.
I am sending a copy of the revised agreement to Mr. John F. Herrity,
Chairman, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, so he will be advised of
the progress we are making regarding your offsite road improvements.
We have reviewed your request regarding the lengthening of the
deceleration lane on northbound 1-495 and the widening of the exit ramp
to eastbound George Washington Memorial Parkway. The CIA study performed
by Dewberry and Davis addressed the problems on 1-495 between Georgetown
Pike and Cabin John Bridge. The problems identified are the traffic
movement from westbound parkway to northbound 1-495 in the a.m.-p.m.
and to southbound 1-495 in' the p.m. We did not identify any major
problems during the morning peak with the traffic movement from northbound
1-495 to eastbound parkway.

Page 2 ,
The a.m. backups on 1-495 northbound are caused by the three lanes
on Cabin John Bridge.' Once' I-495'is'widened to eight lanes from the
parkway in Virginia to Route 190 in Maryland and the auxiliary lanes
between the two parkway interchanges are connected, i.e., five lanes
across Cabin John Bridge, these backups should'be eliminated. Maryland
plans to take bids on June 5 forthe widening of Cabin John and it is
anticipated the eight, laning of 1-495 in Maryland and Virginia will
take place in'the late 1980s.
For your information I am enclosing a layout showing. the lengthening
of the deceleration lane and the widening of a portion of the exit ramp
mentioned above. A rough estimate for these improvements is $500,000.
if 'y'ou':plan to fiha'nce this'cpnstruction, please advise so the appropriate
agreeme6t'can be'drawn and plans prepared.
I appreciate the efforts your agency is making to accommodate
offsite road improvements in connection with your expansion program.
Sincerely,
Harold C. King, Commissioner
