<div dir="ltr">Friends and Neighbors,<div><br></div><div>Next Monday, November 4, there will be a public meeting at 7pm in Town Hall (5008 Queensbury Road, 20737) to discuss possible configurations for the intersection where the bridge (and street) connecting Rivertech Court and Lafayette Avenue to the Cafritz project (crossing the railroad tracks).  The town has been working with an engineer to see what the smallest circle that will safely handle the traffic is, and has received several design documents (linked at the end of this message).  We are still discussing the possibility of reducing the size, but these are the documents we're working from right now.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I've also linked to a Federal Highway Administration informational document on roundabouts, and provided a link for the "T" intersection design.</div><div><br></div><div>These are all large documents (1+ megabytes)!</div>

<div><br></div><div>I hope to have a good turnout next week to discuss these designs.  Because of timing constraints on the project, it is likely that the Council will take a position later in the evening on 11/4 about which design to move forward on.</div>
