Leesburg, VA – The Town of Leesburg is holding a community meeting on November 14 to gather resident feedback on the W&OD Trail Lighting project. This project, which proposes new lighting along a 1.25-mile stretch of the Washington & Old Dominion Trail through downtown Leesburg, aims to enhance safety for pedestrians traveling in the evening. The section planned for lighting runs from Catoctin Circle SE by Flagship Carwash to Catoctin Circle SW near Loudoun County High School.
The meeting will take place from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the banquet hall at Ida Lee Park Recreation Center (60 Ida Lee Drive NW). The agenda includes a presentation covering the project’s background, proposed lighting standards, and details on three potential lighting fixtures. Following the presentation, attendees can visit designated discussion stations for focused conversations about specific parts of the trail. These stations are designed to give residents a chance to understand how the lighting might impact their properties and to share their preferences.
This will be the final opportunity for public input on the project’s conceptual design. Feedback gathered will be summarized in a report and presented to the Leesburg Town Council in the coming months, helping to shape the final direction of the project.
For more information, residents can visit Leesburg’s project page or contact Project Manager Dustin Kuzan, P.E., at 703-771-6579 or via email at dkuzan@leesburgva.gov.
