Seneca Road Intersection:  VDOT has proposed pavement marking modifications to facilitate traffic circulation at the vicinity of Georgetown Pike at Seneca Road and Route 7.  The existing and proposed markings are as follows:
(Click here to see the proposed changes to the Seneca Rd. & Georgetown Pike)
GFCA is requesting that VDOT study the possibility of allowing right turns from both southbound lanes of Seneca Road in order to facilitate the subsequent left turn from Georgetown Pike onto eastbound Route 7 that many Seneca vehicles make.  Further measures to improve the intersection may be considered if additional funding becomes available; suggestions are welcome.

Walker Road South of Georgetown Pike:  FCDOT and VDOT have proposed a plan for access improvements along Walker Road in response to GFCA’s request to implement the concepts identified in the Great Falls Village Traffic Calming and Circulation Study completed in 2000.  The draft plan is available by clicking here:
The level of implementation of the plan is dependent on funding availability; the Transportation Committee’s initial recommendation is that the entire plan be executed via repaving and remarking the roadway, supplemented with curb construction at the proposed crosswalk and the northwest curb extension.  Comments are invited and the proposal will be the subject of a future General Membership meeting.

SAFE THE PIKE’ Petition Launched
GFCA invites residents and others to sign the SAFE THE PIKE petition for a safer Georgetown Pike. The volume, speed, and safety of Georgetown Pike traffic is a major concern of this community and something needs to be done about it. Most Great Falls residents place "traffic congestion and speeding" second only to "overdevelopment" as the greatest potential threats to our quality of life, according to the 2020 Vision Survey (77 percent and 79 percent respectively). GFCA’s Transportation Committee is aiming for a minimum of 3,000 signatures. Your participation will give GFCA a strong and unified voice for a safe Georgetown Pike.
