Staff updates board on road work, crosswalk study and sidewalk project schedule
Summary
Public works reported shoulder repairs, speed-study recommendations (including a 45 mph posting on Route 656), two paving crews working until mid‑October, and that the Church Street crosswalk options will require ADA-compliant curb ramps before striping; the Amelia County sidewalk project remains on track to finish by late Nov–early Dec ahead of its Jan 2026 contract deadline.
County public-works staff updated the board on maintenance and traffic issues: crews completed primary and secondary mowing cycles, added millings and regraded ditches along Route 681, and have two separate crews working on surface treatments through mid-October.
On traffic studies, staff said a report for Route 656 recommends posting 45 mph between 360 and Whitaker Road and that law-enforcement concurrence is being sought. On a Church Street crosswalk study, staff explained both potential locations would "require construction of, American with Disabilities Act compliant ramps, curb ramps, before we could actually mark a crosswalk at that location," noting the federal requirement. Staff also reported the Amelia County sidewalk project remains ahead of schedule; while the contract's fixed completion is January 2026, engineers anticipate the contractor could finish in late November or early December.
Supervisors flagged missed pavement-marking locations after resurfacing; staff acknowledged two routes were missed in cross-referencing resurfacing and restriping schedules and committed to a thorough 2026 review.
