<br /> 85-288~E~tter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a resolution to re-establis
<br />the priority of the Western Freeway Project and to request alternate funding by the Department
<br />of Highways and Transportation.
<br />
<br /> "As Council is aware, the Western Freeway has been an accepted project of Virginia
<br />Department of Highways and Transportation (VDH~T) since 1965. However, since that date, City
<br />Council of Portsmouth has never given approval~to its source of fnnding. VDH&T, over the
<br />past several years, has included this project in its six year improvement program and has
<br />tentatively allocated funds from the City's urban road allocation.
<br />
<br />There are three sources of funds identified by VDH&T for highway construction:
<br />
<br />1. interstate
<br />2. primary
<br />3. urban
<br />
<br />1.) Interstate highways are designed to federal standards with no commercial access and con-
<br />trolled intersections. Interstate highways are maintained by the state in both cities and
<br />counties.
