He said the model illustrates the need for a grade <br />separated interchange. He said an RFP is suggested to hire an engineer to design the <br />interchange which would use the work of Will Rieley as a starting point. He suggested <br />that that the steering committee be put in place so they can help select the engineer. He <br />said the City will manage the project and VDOT has funds available for this phase of the <br />work. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling asked the time range for the simulation video, and Mr. Tolbert said <br />weekdays from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling said he thinks it would be helpful to see the simulation in non-peak <br />hours and in comparison with other intersections such as Hydraulic Road and Rt. 29. Mr. <br />Schilling asked for clarification of the time-frame, and is it correct the interchange will be <br />fully engineered in 30 months. <br /> <br />Mr. Tolbert said that is correct, assuming there are no glitches in the process. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling asked when the Meadowcreek Parkway is realistically expected to <br />be built. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert said that VDOT has no money budgeted for construction of the <br />interchange, and given the current structure rate it will probably take 20 years. <br /> <br /> Mr. Schilling expressed concern about reimbursement of funds in a no built <br />situation, and asked about the legal possibility to take the position of no reimbursement <br />requirement. <br /> <br /> <br />
