1st/2nd Street Sidewalks

The 1st/2nd Street Sidewalks project involves the construction of three blocks of sidewalk, curb, and gutter along 1st and 2nd Streets between Hallman and Oak Streets. The project is being pursued through VDOT's Revenue Sharing Funding program alongside two other projects: Dwight Avenue Improvements and the Northfax East-West Roadway. On May 13, 2025, City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-25-09 authorizing submission of all three projects to VDOT for Revenue Sharing Funding. On September 9, 2025, Council unanimously adopted an updated Resolution R-25-27, revising the application with a total funding request of up to $10 million across the three projects. The updated resolution was pulled from the consent agenda for discussion before passing.
