Summary
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 a new capital project as of at least December 2024. On May 13, 2025, City Council unanimously adopted Resolution R-25-09, endorsing submission of the Dwight Avenue Improvements (along with 1st/2nd Street Sidewalks and the Northfax East-West Roadway) to VDOT for Revenue Sharing Funding.
