Volunteers help clean up local streams and build trails in Loudoun.
The widening of Route 15 will ease congestion and improve safety.
Linear Parks and Trails Loudoun County residents are gaining access to more trails as work continues on developing an interconnected, countywide network of parks and trails. Elements of the Linear Parks and Trails (LPAT) Signature Project include constructing pedestrian bridges over streams, creating parking and access points for trailheads, a kayak/canoe launch in Goose Creek and wayfinding signage for connectivity to regional trail networks. The program also has a volunteer component: Trail Rangers build trails and monitor conditions on existing trails. They also collect useful information from hikers, bikers and equestrians who are regular users of Loudoun’s trails. COUNTY CIP PROJECTS BY 2022 ELECTION DISTRICT The list below demonstrates the spread of both county capital projects and county-supported or managed transportation projects funded in the six-year funding plan across the county’s Election Districts. Excluded from this list are projects that either do not have a location by their nature; those that fund the procurement of large assets, such as the fire apparatus and transit bus projects; or school projects.
Route 15 Widening The widening of Route 15 North from two to four lanes from Leesburg to the Maryland state line is one of many projects undertaken by Loudoun County to help ease traffic congestion and improve safety for residents and commuters. The first phase of the project includes improvements between Battlefield Parkway and Whites Ferry Road. The design process recognizes the historical and cultural significance of Route 15 and follows the Journey Through Hallowed Ground guidelines where possible.
