Transportation Committee
The Transportation Committee continues to provide project requests for the CIP. Virginia State
Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a locality's CIP. Funding for
transportation project requests will likely come from a combination of state funds, developers,
revenue sharing, various other revenue programs and possibly local funds used to leverage those
funding sources.
The Transportation Committee has included 26 priority projects. As projects and applications are
developed, they could include all or a key portion a prioritized project. The top three priorities
include Route 277 widening and safety improvements (Phase 1), Exit 313 Bridge Replacement
and Capacity Improvements, and Renaissance Drive (Phase 2). The inclusion of the Eastern Road
Plan Improvements item at number 27 once again emphasizes the connection between the CIP
and potential proffered contributions made with rezoning projects which are aimed at mitigating
potential transportation impacts identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
