BACKGROUND: The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input on the proposed Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Secondary Six Year Program (SSYP), FY 16-21 (Attachment A). The SSYP is the funding program for the construction of secondary road projects based on the County's Transportation Priority List and reflects available State road funding allocated to the County. The Board held a work session on the SSYP and the County's Transportation Priority List of Secondary Road Improvements on May 6, 2015 (Attachment B-Executive Summary). At the May 6 meeting, the Board: (1) approved the list of unpaved road priorities set forth in the staff report; (2) approved the "Recommended Projects and Updates for the FY16 SSYP" set forth in the staff report for inclusion in the County's draft FY16 SSYP; and (3) scheduled a public hearing on the SSYP for June 10, 2015.
STRATEGIC PLAN: 2. Critical Infrastructure: Prioritize, plan and invest in critical infrastructure that responds to past and future changes and improves the capacity to serve community needs.
3. Development Areas: Attract quality employment, commercial, and high density residential uses into development areas by providing services and infrastructure that encourage redevelopment and private investment while protecting the quality of neighborhoods.
4. Economic Prosperity: Foster an environment that stimulates diversified job creation, capital investments, and tax revenues that support community goals.
DISCUSSION: VDOT staff has provided a draft of the FY 16-21 SSYP (Attachment A) that is based on the priority list agreed to by the Board at its May 6 work session. Projected funding allocations for this SSYP were provided to the Board in the May 6 Executive Summary (Attachment B). As indicated last month, all available funding for the FY 16-21 SSYP will be used to complete the projects listed below:
1. Black Cat Road (Rte. 708) bridge replacement;
2. Broomley Road (Rte. 677) bridge replacement;
3. Dick Woods Road (Rte. 637) bridge replacement;
4. Pocket Lane (Rt. 703), from Rt. 715 to end state maintenance - paving project;
5. Doctors Crossing (Rt. 784), from Rt. 600 to Rt. 640 - paving project;
6. Keswick Drive (Rt. 731), from Rt. 744 to Rt. 22 - paving project;
7. Rio Mills Road (Rt. 643), from paved section to US 29 - paving project;
8. Bunker Hill Road (Rte. 616 to dead end) - paving project; and
9.Preddy Creek Road (Rte. 600 to Rte. 640) - paving project.
BUDGET IMPACT: The SSYP is for the expenditure of State/VDOT secondary road construction funds allocated to the County and does not require the expenditure of County funds except to the extent that any project may also utilize revenue sharing funds or otherwise necessitate County resources in support of the project.
RECOMMENDATION:
After the public hearing, staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment E) approving the FY16-21 SSYP and authorizing the County Executive to sign the SSYP.
