The Loudoun County (VA) Board of Supervisors has formed a Route 50 Task Force.

The purpose of the task force is to gain public input and recommendations on key issues facing the corridor. The issues include transportation improvements; a unified theme for the area's architectural style; access and linkage to key historical and cultural sites; and recognition of the area as a gateway corridor.

I drive this stretch of Route 50 daily and it's a beautiful area, but the traffic can be brutal at times. It's good to see Loudoun addressing that part of the county. The "unified theme" for architectural style seems a little silly, though.
