Matoaca Supervisor Steve Elswick congratulates new Eagle Scouts at the Board of Supervisors’ March 13 meeting. Fewer than 4 percent of boys entering scouting achieve Eagle Scout standing.

  • Supervisor Elswick held several Matoaca District community meetings this spring. On March 12, a meeting at Matoaca High School was in regard to the road project on Bailey Bridge Road, where a traffic light and sidewalk is being installed in front of Manchester High School and Bailey Bridge Middle School. The meeting at Ettrick Elementary School on May 13 was about the southeast high-speed rail project with Kevin Page, chief operating officer for the Virginia Department of Rail & Public Transportation, leading the discussion. The other meeting was to discuss the Chesterfield County proposed FY2014 budget on March 18 at Cosby High School.
  • Park Improvements: Park Improvements: At Eppington Plantation, planning is almost completed for major renovations and repairs, which began this spring and are expected to be completed by fall. The development of a river-access trail system is under way at the Radcliffe Conservation Area Appomattox River canoe launch. Surfacing of the trails and construction of boardwalks was completed last fall. Phase two, which will finish the river trail and add a one-mile marsh challenge trail, will begin in the late spring and be completed by fall. At Matoaca Park, an improvement project began this spring to upgrade the sports fields, expand parking, renovate the playground, and add new court games, a picnic shelter and trails. It will be completed in late fall. Phase two construction, including a new picnic area and a multipurpose trail, began this spring at Horner Park (adjacent Clover Hill Athletic Complex). It is expected to be completed next spring. At Virginia State University, a Phase 1 of a project to construct parking and add a multipurpose trail system along the Appomattox will begin construction this summer and be completed in the late fall. At Grange Hall ES, Phase I renovations, including paving rear access drive, removing three old ball field backstops and installing a new backstop, have been completed. A new playground has been ordered and will be installed this summer. Phase 2 field renovations, to add irrigation and improved turf and drainage and new backstop, will be completed by fall. Irrigation has been made possible by extending county water along Hull Street Rd, a proffered condition of the Magnolia Green Development.
  • A revitalization project called the Chesterfield Avenue Enhancement Project is under way in Ettrick. The first phase of the project, which includes a monument sign, directional signage, banners and landscaping, has been completed. This phase was financed by Chesterfield County's Community Development Block Grant program. Construction of the next phase will be financed with $300,000 from a partnership between Virginia State University and the Chesterfield County block grant program.
  • Road Projects: A VDOT project to reconstruct Bailey Bridge Road as a two-lane road from Claypoint Road to Manchester High School has begun and should be completed by June. VDOT also is installing a sidewalk on the north side of Bailey Bridge Road from the school intersection to Cameron Bay Drive. A revenue-sharing project (50 percent state funds and 50 percent county funds) to construct a shoulder on Beach Road from west of Brandy Oaks Blvd to east of Brandy Oaks Drive will begin construction in June and is expected to be completed by July.  The county was successful in securing federal funds to construct a third lane on Route 360 from Winterpock Road to Woodlake Village Parkway. Preliminary engineering is under way and construction is expected to begin in the spring of next year. Cash proffers will be used to widen the shoulder and widen the pavement on Spring Run Road between Triple Crown Drive to Royal Birkdale Boulevard. Construction began last year and was completed this spring. A spot-safety improvement to the curve south of Crown Point Road is expected to begin construction this summer. The county was successful in obtaining federal safety funds for this high-accident location.
  • Chesterfield Fire and EMS is evaluating the accessibility of fire trucks to several ponds off Baldwin Creek Road from which to pump water to fight fires in the immediate area.  This is part of a broader evaluation that is being conducted throughout the rural areas of the county, aimed at improving firefighting capabilities where there are no fire hydrants.  The Utilities Department is planning to extend a water line to Grange Hall Elementary school later this year, which will allow the installation of a fire hydrant on the south side of Hull Street Road near its intersection with Baldwin Creek Road. Although there is currently a nearby hydrant in this area on the north side of Hull Street Road that is often used by firefighters when fighting fires in the area, a new hydrant on the south side of Hull Street will improve access and help avoid traffic risks during a fire.
