Joe McClellan, the Bull Run Branch representative to Prince William County Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee (DORAC), needs those interested to provide him any comments that you have before the review meeting set for July 25, 2024. The attached document is the draft of the DCSM Section 600. Please reply to this post and your comments will be sent to Joe McClellan.
This manual provides guidance for the planning and construction of context-sensitive streets that provide a wide range of mobility options for all users of the street network. The document is intended to provide a detailed overview of all transportation-related regulations and guidelines within Prince William County (PWC) and has been updated to address specific goals detailed within the Mobility, Land Use, and Housing chapters of the Prince William County 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The PWC 2040 Comprehensive Plan acknowledges that "it is not possible to address congestion through road investments alone" in order to achieve the Strategic Plan Mobility Goal of "an accessible, comprehensive, multimodal network of transportation infrastructure that supports local and regional mobility."
The Mobility Plan recommends an examination of the criteria used to evaluate the design of streets in order to address the needs of people walking, biking, using transit, making deliveries, and driving while maximizing safety, connectivity, and network capacity.
