Route 15, Shellhorn Road, Northstar Boulevard and six other road projects around the county will compete for funding from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA).
The Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday on a list to send to the regional transportation body for funding consideration for projects worth a total of $365 million.
Since October, the board has been considering which local transportation projects to send to NVTA and which three should be ranked highest.
But the decision over which projects would be deemed the board’s top three sparked a heated debate, which resulted in board members making a formal motion to challenge Chairwoman Phyllis Randall (D-At Large).
County transportation staff and Randall, who serves as the vice chairwoman of NVTA, tried to assure supervisors it did not matter which projects appeared on the top of their list.
