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 and roads 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 these streets and roads into the maintenance system, the City receives annual funding in support of these streets and roads. In order for VDOT to accept these streets and roads, City Council must first adopt a resolution to officially submit the new lane mileage; as well as to make adjustments and removals as needed for any previously approved streets and roads. Only public streets and roads are included.
Discussion:
The current application includes the deletion of the dead end section of Old Pond Court, constructed within the Samantha Lakes subdivision and approved by VDOT in 2009. The application also includes the addition of Old Pond Court that reincorporates this deleted section as well as the street extension built within the Marple Run subdivision.
