BACKGROUND: The Albemarle County Transportation Priorities Project Updates & Future Grant Options report found in Attachment A provides a complete update of all priority projects found in the 2019 Albemarle County Transportation Priorities list, which is included in Attachment B. The Board approved the 2019 report on July 3, 2019, which lists all capital transportation projects recommended through the various County planning processes. These projects have been ranked through a methodology intended to identify the most important projects. County staff previously proposed updating the Albemarle County Transportation Priorities once every two years. This would have been set to occur in 2021. However, because of limits in the CDD work plan and the proposal to develop an Albemarle County Multi-modal Transportation Plan, this update was postponed to roll into that planning process.
This report provides an update on the work to advance each of the projects that fall within the First Tier (projects 1-20) of the 2019 Priorities List, as well as the Second and Third Tier projects that have been advanced in some manner. The purpose of providing this report is to identify and get Board feedback on the highest priority projects that could become the subject of the next two grant cycles which includes the Revenue Sharing and Transportation Alternatives Grants, due in Fall of 2021 and the Smart Scale Grants, due in Summer 2022.
