January 25. 2011 Discussion: . The street maintenance funds received from VDOT are based on the number of "lane miles" of improved street within the city as detailed by VDOT's Local Assistance Division Urban Maintenance Inventory for the City of Portsmouth. As new streets are added through development or streets are closed, amendments to the inventory should be submitted annually to VDOT using VDOT Form U-1. . The VDOT Urban Construction and Maintenance Program requires a City Council resolution to submit the attached Form U-1 detailing changes to the inventory. . The adjustments to the inventory itemized in the attached Form U-1 are the result of a detailed citywide review of our street system and include 56.23 lane miles of additions and 44.19 lane miles of deletions, for a net increase in 12.04 lane miles. . VDOT will review our submission for conformance to state standards and will adjust the city's Urban Maintenance Inventory as appropriate. Financial Impact: . Positive. If VDOT accepts all submitted inventory adjustments, the city's annual street maintenance payments from VDOT could increase by as much as $185,000. Recommended Action: . Adapt a resolution submitting the attached Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Form U-1, Request for Street Additions or Deletions for Municipal Assistance Payments to VDOT's Norfolk Residency Administrator. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. Next Steps Following Council Action: . Forward the attached Form U-1 to VDOT for review and approval.
