Project Description: Development of conceptual design plans for the addition of pedestrian-scale lights along the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail from Catoctin Circle SE at the car wash to Catoctin Circle SW at Loudoun County High School. The project will include the extension of W&OD Trail operations from sunset to until 9pm or 10pm at night, thus legitimizing a route along the trail after sunset for bicycles and pedestrians to travel within, and immediately surrounding, the downtown area.
