New Developments and Street Repairs, Maintenance and Plowing

Show All Answers

1. What is the Town’s guidance on trees?

Development plans usually require trees to be planted on some or most new house lots for beautification. Often these trees are not planted until all new home construction is completed. The developer or your salesman can inform you about any landscaping that may be planned for your lot.

2. When will the roadways in a new subdivision have their final layer of pavement?

Roadway surfacing will usually not be completed until the development has been completed. This means the roadway will be rough for some time because of uneven paving and manholes protruding above the surface.

3. Who fixes the sidewalks and fixes and plows the roads?

If you are in one of the new developments, the developer owns the road until all requirements on the plans, such as final paving, drainage ditches, planting trees, sidewalks, etc. have been completed. This means the developer is responsible for street repairs and snow plowing until the road has met Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) requirements and is accepted by the Town. The Town owns and maintains all roads in Town with the exception of Rt. 287 and Main Street. Generally, the Town will be responsible for plowing Town-owned streets and will support VDOT with the plowing of Rt. 287 and Main Street. The Town maintains the sidewalks after the acceptance period but residents are responsible for cleaning/shoveling their own sidewalks.
