Road Renaming Initiative 2022-2023

The renamings of Leesburg Court in Sterling and Little River Lane in Aldie have been completed. As of September 2022, Leesburg Court is now Compass Rose Court and Little River Lane is now Vilgrain Farm Lane. The new street names are now available in Apple Maps, Google Maps, Open Street Map and Waze.

Project Update: January 10, 2023

The county is working with the Town of Round Hill in a coordinated effort to rename several streets in and around the town.  The implementation process will take place in phases. It is expected to be completed by March 2023.

The Board directed staff to rename Early Avenue, Hampton Road, Jackson Avenue, Lee Drive, Longstreet Avenue, and Pickett Road. Mosby Court in Round Hill is not slated for renaming.  

The process of renaming these roads and streets continues:

• The new name of Jackson Avenue will be Honeybee Avenue. 
• The new name of Lee Drive will be Turtle Hill Drive.
•  The new name of Pickett Road will be Broken Arrow Road. 

Property owners of these streets were asked to nominate names for consideration. Proposed names that were available for use were provided to property owners on ballot for a vote. The new names will not become official until later in 2023. Residents will be notified by letter of the exact date their new address will become effective.

The process of renaming Early Avenue, Longstreet Avenue and Jeb Stuart Road is currently underway. Affected property owners have been asked to submit new names for consideration. Names that are not already in use, a sound-alike to an existing or approved road name, and otherwise meet the naming standards in Chapter 1020 (Loudoun County’s Naming of Streets Ordinance) will be sent back to the property owners on a ballot for a vote. The name with the most votes will become the new street name.

• In November 2021, the Board approved moving forward on renaming these two roads.
• In addition to being asked by mail to propose new names, property owners on Jeb Stuart Road will be offered the option of the name “Unison Road,” which is the name of the same route number west of Jeb Stuart Road. 
• The portion of Fort Johnston Road that fronts Route 7 will be renamed “Leeland Orchard Road”.
• The implementation process is expected to begin in November 2022 and be completed by March 2023.

• In December 2021, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors approved the renaming of Harry Byrd Highway (Route 7) as Leesburg Pike. 
• The renaming was approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in February 2022.
• The county will coordinate with the Virginia Department of Transportation to implement the sign replacement process.
• In early 2023, staff expects to begin notifying affected property owners on Route 7 and Route 50 of the effective date of their new address. Every effort will be made to coordinate the effective date of the new addresses with the installation of the new street signs. 
• The Route 7 implementation process is expected to begin in early 2023 and be completed by mid-to-late 2023. 

• In December 2021, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors approved the renaming of John Mosby Highway (Route 50) as Little River Turnpike. 
• The renaming was approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in February 2022.
• The county will coordinate with the Virginia Department of Transportation to implement the sign replacement process.
