RE: APPLICATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019 BETTER UTILIZING INVESTMENTS TO LEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT (BUILD) TRANSPORTATION GRANTS PROGRAM

WHEREAS, as a major gateway into the City, there is tremendous need for redevelopment and enhancement of the Mathis Corridor; and

WHEREAS, revitalization of the aging corridor is a Council priority; and

WHEREAS, $900 million in funding is available through the Department of Transportation for the BUILD transportation grant program for capital investments in surface transportation and infrastructure for projects that will have local and regional significance; and

WHEREAS, as part of the City’s revitalization efforts for the Mathis Corridor, the City intends to seek funding in the amount of $7,449,600; and

WHEREAS, this application includes the reconstruction of a section of the Mathis Avenue from Sudley Road to Liberia Avenue (T-86) to the City’s updated streetscape standards, bringing wider sidewalks, safer pedestrian crossings, and green medians that double as pedestrian crossing refuges. These improvements will serve to enhance the pedestrian experience along the Mathis Corridor, stimulating adjacent commercial and residential activity as well as improving pedestrian connectivity between the corridor and Historic Downtown Manassas; and

WHEREAS, this application also includes a roundabout which will be an innovative redesign of the Sudley Road and Route 28 intersection (T-85), a known bottleneck intersection along the Route 28 corridor. Route 28 is a major regional north-south corridor that provides direct access between two airports; four counties; and major US, state, and local roadways such as I-66 and Routes 7, 50, 234, and 267. The roundabout will reduce congestion and delay for nearly 50,000 travelers daily and will serve as a gateway to the Historic Downtown and the Mathis Corridor; and

WHEREAS, the Manassas City Council approved those two projects as part of the FY 2020 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program adopted on May 13, 2019 via Resolution #2019-55; and
