The Quander Road Walkway project in Fairfax County, Virginia involved constructing 1,800 feet of sidewalk, curb and gutter, a refuge island with ramps, drainage improvements, and road widening along Quander Road between Emmett Drive and Stokes Lane. The project was completed in June 2021 to provide safer connectivity for schools and neighborhoods. It was delivered using a design-bid-build approach and included relocating utilities, laying concrete, and replacing landscaping.

2. 17Aspen Hill Minor Master Plan Amendment Approved and Adopted │ May 2015
TRANSPORTATION
The Minor Master Plan Amendment area is located on the western side of Connecticut Avenue (MD 185) along both
the northern and southern sides of Aspen Hill Road. The portion located north of Aspen Hill Road, mainly occupied by
the former Vitro/BAE vacant office building, is accessed by one full-movement access driveway to Aspen Hill Road,
which is presently chained closed, and an internal connection to the Home Depot secondary access driveway to
Connecticut Avenue.
Connecticut Avenue (MD 185) is a six-lane major highway traversing in a northeast-southwest direction along the
eastern frontage of the Minor Amendment area. Traffic signals exist at the nearby intersections with Aspen Hill Road
and Georgia Avenue (MD 97). The Home Depot secondary access driveway (immediately north of the Vitro/BAE site) is
currently undergoing a traffic signal warrant analysis as a condition of approval for the 30,000-square foot Home Depot
expansion. This driveway is located approximately 750 feet north of Aspen Hill Road and approximately 850 feet south
of the intersection with Georgia Avenue. The posted speed limit on Connecticut Avenue is 45 MPH. The 2013 annual
average daily traffic (AADT) on Connecticut Avenue, as reported by the State Highway Administration (SHA), is
approximately 36,300 vehicles per day. This represents a 3.6% decrease from 2011.
Georgia Avenue (MD 97) is a six-lane major highway traversing in a northwest-southeast direction approximately a
quarter mile east of the properties subject to the Minor Amendment. Traffic signals are in place at the nearby
intersections with Aspen Hill Road and Connecticut Avenue. The posted speed limit on Georgia Avenue is 45 MPH. The
2013 AADT on Georgia Avenue, as reported by SHA for the segment near Connecticut Avenue (MD 185), is
approximately 43,900 vehicles per day. This represents a 3.8% decrease from 2011. Georgia Avenue is planned as a
bus-rapid transit (BRT) corridor with a station to be located at the intersection with Connecticut Avenue.
Aspen Hill Road is a two-lane arterial west of Connecticut Avenue and a four-lane arterial east of Connecticut Avenue.
It traverses in an east-west direction between the northern and southern portions of the Minor Amendment area.
Currently, the full-movement primary site access driveway to the Vitro/BAE site is located on Aspen Hill Road
approximately 400 feet west of the intersection with Connecticut Avenue. Traffic signals are in place at the nearby
intersections with Connecticut Avenue and Georgia Avenue. In 2008, a traffic calming project was undertaken by
Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to install neckdowns and on-street parking which
effectively reduced the section of Aspen Hill Road west of Connecticut Avenue from four- to two-lanes. According to
MCDOT, between 2008 and 2011, the traffic calming project resulted in a reduction of average vehicular speed from 35
MPH to 34 MPH and the number of collisions over a three-year period reduced from 13 to 4. The posted speed limit on
Aspen Hill Road is 30 MPH. The 2013 AADT on Aspen Hill Road, along the site frontage, as reported by SHA, is
approximately 17,400 vehicles per day. This represents an increase of 0.2% from 2012.
Existing Bus Service
The Minor Amendment area is served by a number of bus routes provided by the County’s Ride On and the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s (WMATA) Metrobus services (see Map 8, following page). Along
Connecticut Avenue there are a total of four bus routes, three of which are provided by Ride On (#26, #34, #41) and
one route (#L8) by Metrobus. Route #26 also runs east-west along Aspen Hill Road. The bus stops along the segment
of Georgia Avenue in the vicinity of the Minor Amendment area are served by a total of four bus routes, one Ride-on
(#53) and three Metrobus (#Y2, #Y7, #Y8). Depending on time of day, these buses typically run every 20-30 minutes.
There are two bus stops on Connecticut Avenue, between Aspen Hill Road and the shared drive between the Vitro/BAE
site and the Home Depot, for which the 2011 SHA Pedestrian Road Safety Audit (PRSA) identified relocation to be closer
to the intersection with Aspen Hill Road. Based on data collected by MCDOT, Division of Transit Services, more than
300 transit riders are served daily at these two bus stops. Relocation of these bus stops would enhance safety for
pedestrians seeking to cross Connecticut Avenue.
3. 18Aspen Hill Minor Master Plan Amendment Approved and Adopted │ May 2015
Proposed Bus Rapid Transit on Georgia Avenue
In November 2013, the County Council approved
the Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master
Plan. The plan recommends 11 Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) corridors throughout the County, including
the segment of Georgia Avenue through the study
area of this Minor Master Plan Amendment, to be
developed in order to help ease congestion and
improve travel times. According to the plans for
this corridor (Corridor 1: Georgia Avenue North) a
future BRT station is proposed to be located at the
intersection of Georgia Avenue and Connecticut
Avenue.

Pedestrian Safety
In December 2011, SHA released the Pedestrian Road Safety Audit (PRSA) Review Report for the 0.6 mile section of
Connecticut Avenue (MD 185) between Independence Street and Georgia Avenue (MD 97) including the roadway
segment adjacent to the properties subject to this Plan. The PRSA report evaluated collision data from 2005 to 2009 as
well as SHA staff field observations and made numerous recommendations to improve pedestrian safety. Over the five
year study period, SHA reported a total of 23 collisions between vehicles and bicyclists or pedestrians, resulting in 22
injuries (of which 3 were fatal). The study identified uncontrolled midblock crossings (i.e., not crossing at intersections
due to pedestrian impatience with long walking distances and traffic signal cycle lengths) and the presence of many
closely spaced commercial driveways as the primary contributing factors to the frequency of collisions in this area. To
address these issues, as well as other concerns regarding design, continuity, accessibility, and overall quality of
pedestrian infrastructure, the PRSA report recommends various short-term, intermediate, and long-term
improvements. The highlights include:
Consolidate driveways to businesses along Connecticut Avenue.
Construct missing segments of sidewalks along Connecticut Avenue.
Upgrade handicapped ramps to ADA standards along Connecticut Avenue.
Improve pedestrian signage and crosswalks along Connecticut Avenue.
Reduce corner turn radii at the intersection of Aspen Hill Road and Connecticut Avenue.
Relocate bus stop on Connecticut Avenue closer to the intersection with Aspen Hill Road that is served by
four bus routes.
Install a concrete median barrier with pedestrian refuge along Connecticut Avenue.
Significantly reduce the radius of the free right-turn ramp from Georgia Avenue to Connecticut Avenue.
Reconstruct the Home Depot secondary access driveway to Connecticut Avenue to eliminate channelized
islands.
Install high-visibility crosswalks where they are currently faded or missing.
Transportation Recommendations
Based on the traffic analysis (Appendix C), site observations, community feedback, and studies conducted by other
transportation agencies, this Plan recommends the following:
To address potential traffic operations impacts on Aspen Hill Road, the primary access to and from the
Vitro/BAE site should be via Connecticut Avenue, a major highway, and the majority—if not all—of the
traffic should be directed there. To address potential traffic operations and pedestrian impacts on
Connecticut Avenue, a traffic signal at this intersection should be considered. If a secondary access to and
from the site from Aspen Hill Road is necessary, it should be designed to minimize the traffic there and its
impact on residents living on or near that road. To further limit and control traffic impacts to the adjacent
residential neighborhood, consideration should be given to only allowing access to/from the Vitro/BAE site
at Aspen Hill Road, if possible for emergency vehicles only.
The SHA recommendations for improved access management and improved pedestrian safety (as
proposed in detail in the 2011 PRSA Review Report) should be implemented along both Connecticut
Avenue and Aspen Hill Road in the vicinity of the Minor Amendment area including the intersection with
Aspen Hill Road.
When/if the Vitro/BAE site and/or nearby properties are redeveloped (notably Dunkin Donuts and the Shell
gas station) attention should be given to consolidating site driveways and creating interparcel access
between properties. This will require future coordination between the developers, The Planning
Department, and MCDOT.
If warranted by a traffic study, consider shifting the westbound transition on Aspen Hill Road from four
lanes to two lanes for a minimal distance to provide more merging room for westbound vehicles; this
transition should extend no further than the western driveway of the existing church.
5. 20Aspen Hill Minor Master Plan Amendment Approved and Adopted │ May 2015
Consider removing the southbound free-right ramp from Georgia Avenue to Connecticut Avenue, so that
southbound right turns would come to the traffic signal with all other traffic. Removal of the free-right
ramp would slow traffic traveling southbound on Connecticut Avenue by the Vitro/BAE site.
The 2005 Countywide Bikeways Functional Master Plan recommends a shared use path along the western
side of Connecticut Avenue (reference code SP-27) to connect to the regional network including the
Matthew Henson Trail. This shared use path should be constructed in conjunction with redevelopment of
the Vitro/BAE site.

Traffic Analysis
Since the Vitro/BAE site has been proposed for redevelopment, an analysis was conducted for several possible
development scenarios to measure the impacts of increased traffic at three major signalized intersections
surrounding the site. Assuming either staff’s initial recommendation of a CRT Zone or the existing EOF Zone, the
Vitro/BAE site could theoretically be redeveloped with a variety of uses including a theoretical maximum of
320,000 square feet of general office, 218,000 square feet of general retail, or 349 multi-family residential units.
The following table shows a comparison of trips generated by each of these scenarios, as well as other scenarios
such as re-using the existing Vitro/BAE office building (268,000 square feet) and a 120,000-square foot big box
retail building which has been previously discussed by the property owner.
As shown in Table 1, an office development (either re-use of the existing building or maximizing the zoning
potential on) would generate the most amount of traffic in the weekday morning peak hour, while a retail use
would generate the most traffic during the weekday evening peak hour. Multi-family residential development
would generate the least amount of traffic during both weekday morning and evening peak hours.

Notes: * Office square footages were calculated based on the existing approximately 5-acre EOF Zoned portion of
the Vitro/BAE property only. Residential and retail sizes were calculated based on the future
consolidated 10.3–acre Vitro/BAE property.
** In the remapped EOF zoning district on the property, 1.5 FAR is the baseline maximum amount of
developable office space with an option to achieve a 3.0 FAR if certain criteria are met.
*** Retail trips include a pass-by reduction rate of 35%, consistent with the ITE recommended methodology,
to account for vehicles that are already on the roadway network in the vicinity of the site that choose to
enter the proposed development and then exit the site continuing on their original journey.
The trips shown in Table 1 represent the ‘worst-case’ scenarios for the Vitro/BAE site. Due to various constraints
of the site (i.e., setbacks, parking, slopes) it is unlikely that the maximum allowable square footages for any of the
uses could be achieved. Since the property owner has publicly expressed an interest in potentially pursuing a big
box retail development, a further detailed trip generation analysis for retail uses was conducted to determine the
highest (‘worst case’) traffic generating methodology.

Guidelines and Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) sources used a pass-by reduction rate of 35%,
consistent with the ITE recommended methodology.
** A pass-by rate of 25% was used consistent with recommendations of the nationwide study.
As shown in Table 2, the highest trip generating rates for a retail use comes from the Planning Department’s
Local Area Transportation Review and Transportation Policy Area Review (LATR & TPAR) Guidelines. These rates
were used in the following traffic analysis conducted by Staff to represent ‘worst case’ retail development
scenarios.
The standard methodology in Montgomery County for determining intersection congestion is to calculate an
intersection’s critical lane volume (CLV). The CLV measures the traffic throughput of an intersection by
determining the amount of conflicting traffic movements in the intersection. In the Aspen Hill Policy Area, the
LATR & TPAR Guidelines state that intersections must operate at a CLV below 1475 in order for a proposed
development to be approved without intersection improvements or other traffic mitigation. Table 3 on the
following page shows a comparison of CLVs at nearby study intersections under the existing conditions,
background (no build), and development (retail, residential, office) scenarios.
This traffic analysis assumed for all scenarios that the existing primary access driveway for the Vitro/BAE site to
Aspen Hill Road would be converted to a right-in/right-out driveway and primary access would be shifted to the
existing shared Home Depot driveway onto Connecticut Avenue.

Notes: CLV standard is 1475 in the Aspen Hill Policy Area.
CLV analysis assumed right-in/out access to Aspen Hill Road and primary access driveway (with a traffic signal) on Connecticut
Avenue for all scenarios.
* Pipeline projects assumed to be constructed by 2020 and factored into traffic analysis include Home Depot Expansion,
Homecrest 2, and Layhill Overlook.
** Office square footages were calculated based on the existing approximately 5-acre EOF Zoned portion of the Vitro/BAE
property only. Residential and retail sizes were calculated based on the future consolidated 10.3–acre Vitro/BAE property.
*** In the remapped EOF zoning district on the site, 1.5 FAR is the baseline maximum amount of developable office space with
an option to achieve a 3.0 FAR if certain criteria are met.
As shown in Table 3 above, except for the theoretical maximum build-out of retail and office uses, all
intersections in all other scenarios would operate below the CLV threshold of 1475. In the cases of maximum
general office and maximum general retail, the only intersection to exceed the 1475 threshold in either of the
weekday peak hours is the Connecticut Avenue and Aspen Hill Road intersection. In the maximum office build-
out scenario, this intersection would barely exceed the 1475 threshold with a CLV of 1480. In the maximum retail
build-out scenario, this intersection would exceed the 1475 threshold with a CLV of 1540. As noted, the
maximum square footages are unlikely to be achieved due to site constraints and the highest trip generation
rates were used for the retail uses to present the most conservative (‘worst case’) analysis of traffic conditions.
An additional retail scenario was analyzed to determine the 1475 CLV ‘tipping point’ for retail development. The
analysis shows that the site could develop with approximately 170,000 square feet of retail without the nearby
intersections exceeding the 1475 CLV threshold during either of the AM or PM peak hours. This 170,000 square
foot figure could be adjusted higher or lower based on changes to trip generation assumptions, distribution of
site traffic, or location/design of access driveways.
