The open house format meeting will be held on Monday, September 11, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Central Library, located at 298 Cedar Road, Chesapeake, VA 23322. In addition, project proposal information, as well as an online comment form, will be available on the City’s website at www.cityofchesapeake.net.

Community feedback will be included in a City grant funding application to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), which helps fund community-based projects that expand non-motorized travel choices by focusing on providing pedestrian and bicycle facilities, community improvements and mitigating the negative impacts of the highway system.
