Zoning Ordinance Rewrite

Loudoun County will celebrate the completion of construction of the Round Hill to Franklin Park Trail project and Main Street enhancements with a ribbon cutting Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend the ceremony. 

The event will be held in front of the Town Park Pavilion, 3 East Loudoun Street, in Round Hill. Parking is available behind the Round Hill Fire and Rescue Station. 

These two projects constructed a shared-use path and sidewalks that link the Town of Round Hill to Franklin Park. The project installed curb and sidewalk on both sides of E. Loudoun Street from the intersection of Main Street to the eastern town limits, a 10-foot, shared-use path between Lake Point Subdivision and the Franklin Park pool, and curb and sidewalk along Main Street from the former Washington & Old Dominion railroad station to E. Loudoun Street. Additional enhancements include curb ramps, retaining walls, a new storm drainage system within the Town limits and a pedestrian crossing at Lakefield Road.

Work on the Franklin Park Trail is nearing completion with all but two areas at Lakefield Road pending a connection. The trail work is part of the Round Hill to Franklin Park Trail construction project, currently in progress. The project includes the construction of sidewalks and a shared-use path (pedestrian and bicycle) from the center of the Town of Round Hill to Franklin Park in Western Loudoun County. Crews have begun stabilizing side slopes and ditch lines associated with the trail, which is currently 80% complete.

On E. Loudoun Street, crews are working to resolve a utility conflict before installing the remaining 60 linear feet of storm sewer pipe connecting E. Loudoun Street with the Main Street storm water infrastructure. Work to place storm sewers on the Main Street Improvements project is currently 70% complete.

Temporary pavement issues are being addressed by crews along E. Loudoun Street and Main Street to improve the driving surface while construction continues.   Drivers should proceed in these areas with caution until the end of the project, which is scheduled for Spring / Summer of 2022. 

This project will construct a shared-use path that will link the center of Round Hill to Franklin Park.  This link will include concrete sidewalks along both sides of E.
