LORD DUNMORE DRIVE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Lord Dunmore Drive is located in the Fairfield neighborhood in the Kempsville District  1960’s - 70’s – The majority of the Fairfield neighborhood was developed on the site of the Fairfield Plantation

 Prior to 1990 – The City switched the direction of the STOP signs to stop traffic on Lord Dunmore Drive at:  Rolleston Drive  Fairfield Blvd.  Locke Lane

 May 2005 – The City performed license plate & traffic count studies to determine amount of cut-through traffic at the request of the Civic League 1/3 of traffic on Lord Dunmore was non-neighborhood  Lord Dunmore at PA Rd was rt in/rt out at that time   August 2011 – PA Rd & Kempsville Rd intersection reconstruction starts to impact traffic  Nov 2012 - Traffic Signal @ PA Rd & Oakmears activated Lord Dunmore gained full access to PA Rd via  Oakmears Crescent (median opening)  August 2013 – 5’ sidewalk installed on Lord Dunmore Dr. & Fairfield Blvd. Based on petition request  4,019 linear feet - $583,200   Lord Dunmore Dr: Locke Ln - Jacob Ct  Fairfield Blvd: Lord Dunmore Dr - Kempsville Rd  June 2015 – PA Rd & Kempsville intersection reconstruction completed

 June 2016 – Doug McLiverty, on behalf of Fairfield Civic League, makes formal request to close Lord Dunmore Dr at northern end  Fall 2016 – 525 Kempsville Apts construction commences Mixed-use w/168 apartment homes & up to 7,000 sf of  retail. Located b/t Kempsville Rd & Oakmears with an access  on to Oakmears across from Lord Dunmore

 April 2017 – Meeting with Fairfield Civic League leaders Discuss trial closure and possible speed tables  Discuss petition area   August 2017 – Petition for Lord Dunmore closure mailed to Doug McLiverty Petition area included all impacted residents, not just  those on Lord Dunmore = 400 addresses Petition included opportunity to vote “NO” as well as  “YES” to the closure Petition has not yet been submitted back to the City 

 August 2017 – At direction of MLT, speed tables on Lord Dunmore installed as a demonstration project: Between Baptist Circle and Balboa Drive  Just north of Beaumont Drive Dunmore Dr. 

 January 2018 – MLT authorizes Origin-Destination (O-D) Study & VHB commences.

 May 2018 – MLT authorizes evaluation of 3 closure scenarios: OPTION 1 – Close Lord Dunmore north of Jacob Ct  OPTION 2 – One-way Lord Dunmore NB b/t Vestry Dr &  Jacob Ct OPTION 3 – Close Lord Dunmore b/t Baptist Cir. &  Balboa Dr  July 2018 – VHB submits Final Report Results to be discussed under Alternatives Review   July 2018 – TSI Project proposed to open a left turn out truck egress in the median from Fairfield Shopping Center.

LORD DUNMORE TRUCK ACCESS IMPROVEMENT Median opening to allow WB trucks to turn left truck loading dock areas

LORD DUNMORE TRUCK EGRESS IMPROVEMENT

LORD DUNMORE DRIVE SHOPPING CENTER TRUCK EGRESS  Benefits:  Allows trucks to exit left to travel south on Lord Dunmore to Providence Rd.  Keeps trucks from turning right on Lord Dunmore and entering the neighborhood.  Design plans are being finalized  Construction in late Spring

 Nov 18, 2018 – Extension of Traffic Signal @ PA Rd & Oakmears activated at Oakmears & Lord Dunmore Dr. Signalized Lord Dunmore Dr access to PA Rd  “NO LEFT TURN” from Oakmears (525 Apts)  “NO TURN ON RED” for EB PA Rd 

ALTERNATIVES REVIEW

LORD DUNMORE DRIVE ALTERNATIVE A - Continuation of Speed Tables ALTERNATIVE B – Road Closure Options Options Evaluated by VHB: OPTION 1 – Full closure of Lord Dunmore Drive at north end  north of Jacob Ct & south of Oakmears Cres. OPTION 2 – One-way Lord Dunmore Drive NB at north end  between Vestry Dr & Jacob Ct. OPTION 3 – Full closure Lord Dunmore Drive in the middle  between Baptist Cir & Balboa Dr.
