Dwight Avenue Improvements
in progressSummary
The Dwight Avenue Improvements project involves intersection realignment at Sager/Roberts/Dwight and construction of new sidewalk, curb, and gutter on the north side of Dwight Avenue between Roberts Road and Orchard Drive. The project was identified as early as December 2024 as a new facility/substantial improvement project in the city's capital planning context. On May 13, 2025, City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-25-09, endorsing submission of the Dwight Avenue Improvements—alongside 1st/2nd Street Sidewalks and the Northfax East-West Roadway—to VDOT for Revenue Sharing Funding. On September 9, 2025, Council unanimously adopted an updated resolution (R-25-27) reaffirming submission of the same three projects to VDOT, with the application total updated to up to $10 million. The project remains in progress pending VDOT funding decisions.
