| The Plan for Upperville Like Aldie, Upperville looks like a highway with buildings on the side, instead of a town with a main street. There is nothing to indicate to motorists that they are in a village except a speed limit sign, which is largely disregarded.

The Traffic Calming Plan will reclaim the main street of Upperville, make it more pedestrian- friendly, and keep the traffic moving within the speed limit. |
