Transportation Needs

1
TransportationNeeds Funding Summary

• April 17, 2007

2

• The projects in the Roadways CIP can be grouped
  into four categories.

3
Maintenance

• The current CIP (06/07-11/12) includes annual
  maintenance funding in the amount of
  approximately 7.2M for the pavement maintenance
  program.
• Current Overlay cycle is 24 years. Desired
  overlay cycle is 15 years.
• Additional funding in the amount of 3.5M
  annually (current dollars) would achieve a 15
  year cycle.

4
Safety

• Safety projects in the CIP are on-going in
  nature (recognizing that safety needs themselves
  are on-going i.e., it is a dynamic list).
• Safety needs are identified by analysis of
  accidents and by citizen input.
• Funding is provided annually and is used to
  address identified needs.

5
Safety

• Safety needs typically fall within four
  categories
• Roadway Improvements (Includes Rural Roads
  Program)
• Signals
• Sidewalks and other Pedestrian improvements
• Visual Obstruction Reductions
• Currently identified needs exceed funding by
  approximately 6.5M.
• Additional funding in the amount of 3.3M
  annually (current dollars) would help better
  address safety needs.

6
Special Projects

• Special Projects are established for a wide
  variety of reasons
• Economic Vitality
• Environmental Mitigation
• Right-of-Way Acquisition
• Major Safety Issues beyond on-going safety
  funding
• Streetscapes
• Transit

7
Special Projects

• Special projects are not ranked per se, but are
  programmed in response to specific needs and
  opportunities.
• Current special projects with unmet funding needs
  include
• Lesner Bridge Replacement
• Shore Drive Phases II, III, IV
• Acquisition of the Norfolk-Southern Right-of-Way
• Any projects resulting from the Pembroke Area
  Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

8
Congestion Relief/Capacity Improvements

• Initial ranking through technical criteria.
• Final programming of funding also involves other
  non-technical considerations network linkages,
  connectivity to other projects, commitments,
  funding availability, etc.
• Ranked congested roadways table is attached with
  funding status of the congested roads noted.
• Congestion Relief/Capacity Improvement projects
  in the current CIP have an unfunded need of
  approximately 180M.

9
Funding Gap of Current Program

• Maintenance 3.5M (current dollars) annually
• Safety 3.3M (current dollars) annually
• Special Projects 22M for Shore Drive projects,
  70M for Lesner Bridge Replacement, and others as
  needed.
• Congestion Relief/Capacity Improvement 180M
• 170 Urban Program Projects
• 10M Other City Projects

10
Funding Gap

• Additional Funding
• Fund Maintenance and Safety first.
• Funding would then be allocated to Special
  Projects and Congestion Relief/Capacity
  Improvement Projects as appropriate.

11
Funding Gap

• An estimated additional 35M annually would
• Establish a 15 year pavement overlay cycle
• Increase Safety funding
• Fund currently programmed Special Projects
• Fund currently programmed and identified
  Congestion Relief/Capacity Improvement needs

12
Funding Nimmo Parkway, Phase V-A and Princess
Anne Road, Phase IV

• Both are VDOT Legacy projects
• Combined Balance to Complete is currently
  approximately 46.7M.
• Candidate projects to fund Nimmo Parkway, Phase
  V-A and Princess Anne Road, Phase IV
• Elbow Road, Phase II
• Indian River Road, Phase VII
• Laskin Road, Phase I
• Lynnhaven Parkway, Phase XI
