This is an annual update of the plan. Recommended Action Staff will be seeking a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors to adopt the updated plan. 3 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.
