Title
Resolution Requesting the Virginia Department of Transportation to Add and Delete Certain Streets to Those Classified as Principal and Minor Arterial Roads and Collector Roads and Local Streets
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Annually a list of new streets which have been constructed within the City is compiled and sent to the Virginia Department of Transportation ("VDOT") for maintenance fund eligibility. Once VDOT accepts those roads into the maintenance system the City receives annual funding in support of those roads. In order for VDOT to accept those streets, City Council must first adopt a resolution to officially submit those new lane miles; as well as to make adjustments and removals as needed for any previously approved streets. Only public roads are included.
Discussion:
The current application includes the addition of a number of new streets in the Orchards at Hampton River subdivision and the portion of Floyd Thompson Drive from Research Drive to the Fed-Ex complex in the Langley Research and Development area, as well as a few deletions related to the same construction.
Impact:
