Committee forwards VDOT-funded Chamberlain Avenue resurfacing project to council
Summary
The LUHT committee voted to forward an ordinance authorizing the CAO to execute a project administration agreement with VDOT for a 100% reimbursable Chamberlain Avenue resurfacing project; the administration said the work is a state-of-good-repair effort selected for VDOT funding.
The Land Use, Housing and Transportation Standing Committee voted to forward Ordinance 2026-125 to City Council with a recommendation to approve a VDOT-funded resurfacing of Chamberlain Avenue.
Kenny Horak, program manager, described the project as a state-of-good-repair effort that will be 100% reimbursable by the Virginia Department of Transportation. "This is a project to resurface a portion of Chamberlain Avenue," Horak said, adding that the city applied for the grant and was selected.
The committee closed the public hearing after hearing no speakers in support or opposition and voted to forward the measure. The committee clerk read the motion to forward the ordinance to council; the motion carried with recorded "Aye" votes and the item will proceed to the full council for final action.
If approved by City Council, the CAO would be authorized to execute the standard project administration agreement with VDOT, enabling the city to receive state reimbursement for the resurfacing work. The committee did not discuss specific construction start dates or contractor awards during the meeting; those details were not specified.
The committee’s action sends the project to the next step of the legislative process; the full City Council will consider final approval in a subsequent meeting.
