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. On September 9, 2025, Council unanimously adopted an updated resolution, R-25-27, re-endorsing the same three projects for VDOT Revenue Sharing Funding with an updated application total of up to $10 million. The project is currently in progress, with its VDOT funding application submitted pending state review and award.
