PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The City of Hampton (the “City”) applied and was approved for Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) Smart Scale funding for three projects. The City was notified that VDOT’s funding will be received on a 100% Federal and State share basis beginning in Fiscal Year 2024 for the following projects:
1. Hampton Roads Center Parkway Pedestrian Improvements - Coliseum Drive to Armistead Avenue;
2. Little Back River Road Widening B - Clemwood Parkway to Harris Creek Road; and
3 Armistead Avenue Pedestrian Improvements - Convention Center Boulevard to LaSalle Avenue.
Discussion:
The improvement projects are consistent with long-range goals of the City as follows: (1) Hampton Roads Center Parkway Pedestrian Improvements will link the Boo Williams Sportsplex with Coliseum Drive and also provide much needed pedestrian walkways; (2) Little Back River Road widening will address congestion and crash problems; and (3) the Armistead Avenue Pedestrian Improvements will provide much needed pedestrian facilities on this roadway
These projects will be fully funded with Federal and State funds, to be paid on a reimbursement basis to the City following the expenditure of City funds. This resolution requests VDOT to program the City’s three new capital projects into its Six-Year Improvement Plan and to authorize the City Manager or her designee to execute the project agreements and other project-related documents as needed.

The projects are funded with 100% State and Federal funds
