Title
Resolution to Request the Virginia Department of Transportation to Program Three Projects into its Six-Year Improvement Plan and to Authorize the Manager or her Designee to Execute and Deliver any Agreement or Other Document Necessary for this Purpose
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
In support of the Hampton Roads Express Lane (HREL) network, funding has been identified by Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC) for local strategies that will improve the flow of traffic on local roads adjacent to the project construction. As vehicles divert from I-64 mainline, local strategies, which include CCTV Camera Installation, Signal Timing and Signal Detection have been identified and funded on a reimbursement basis for the cities of Hampton, Newport News and Norfolk. The projects will be locally administered with support from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and are required to be completed prior to February 2027.
This resolution requests VDOT to program $1,010,000.00 for the City’s projects into its Six-Year Improvement Plan. VDOT has assigned project numbers in anticipation of the City's approval of this request; and the Standard Project Administration Agreement (the "Agreement") is attached to this resolution. Once the allocation is accepted by the City, funding will be available immediately. However no reimbursable costs or reimbursements are anticipated in Fiscal Year 2025. It is anticipated that in July, Fiscal Year 2026, Council will be asked to approve a resolution to accept and appropriate $1,010,000 in VDOT Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission funding for those projects.
