Opening Wood Grove High School Will Ease Congestion in Purcellville

THURSDAY, APRIL 10 2008

Anyone who has been through the intersections of Maple and Main in Purcellville on a school day morning or afternoon knows it is highly congested. With opening of Wood Grove High School, East of Round Hill, the traffic through this intersection will be reduced by 50%. Buses will no longer come from Harmony Intermediate School (IS) to Blue Ridge Middle School or Harmony IS to Loudoun Valley High School. During the busiest times, a Purcellville Police Officer, paid for by Loudoun County, directs the traffic to reduce the bottleneck. 

Conclusion: OPENING WOOD GROVE HIGH SCHOOL SOONER WILL EASE CONGESTION IN PURCELLVILLE SOONER

Tom
Have you actually visited Purcellvile through the morning or afternoon hours while school buses and communters were in town trying to get out or in? I would be happy to accommodate you on this adventure. If you want to publish a map at least make it large enough to read.

Thanks

It will only make things worse on 690, Allder School and Purcellville Road. The bypass at 7 and 690 is dead. Read the reports from the county transportation office not to mention the flood plain disruption at 690 and Hirst Road.

Tom, this is correct, and it also allows the county to build on a piece of land that it has owned for a number of years. The escape routes to Hilsboro, Lovettsville,Waterford and other points North, all while removing those buses from Purcellville Streets, are win/win.

Well, I have been gone 3 years now and I still check the paper every couple of weeks to see what is going on. Funny thing, it is the same thing that has been going on since my daughter was in grade school. She is now 20. I can't believe it has not been built yet. I will keep checking.
