Replacement parts for the bridge lighting have been received and VDOT is in the process of

The Town contracted with an electrician to repair the wreaths. Work was performed during
the week of December 18, 2017.
Intersection Improvements
Staff met with Supervisor Anderson and representatives from Prince William County on the
VDOT Smart Scale projects. As a locality of PWC, the Town has partnered with the County to
submit a grant request under the TAP program (30% local match) to fund intersection
improvements at Mill/Ellicott and Mill/Washington Streets to update the sidewalk ramps and
install crosswalks. This would be funding available in Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020, with the
Town providing the required 30% local match. The application was submitted on November
1, 2017; notification of grant status is expected by spring.
Tanyard Hill (Oaks III) Rezoning and Comp Plan Amendment
The rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment request for the Oaks III property has been
submitted to the County. The Board of Supervisors approved the utilization of contingency
funds to pay the fees associated with the Town’s application for rezoning. This request, if

part of the Occoquan Greenway Trail system.
