City Council Goal: City Council Initiative:
I. Character of the City Corridor Beautification
Category: Public Works Project Title: Underground Wiring/Corridor Enhancement Project Description: York Street Corridor Improvement This project is proposed for the York Street (Rt. 60 East) Corridor from Page Street to the Corporate Limits. The Historic Triangle Collaborative initiated a regional plan which included Williamsburg, James City County and York County. Funding from VDOT was not approved for the Regional plan so Williamsburg decided to move forward with their part of the plan. The City has applied for FY14 Revenue Sharing Funds to make improvements to the York Street corridor. The estimated cost of the project is $611,500 and if the Revenue Sharing application is approved, the City will be reimbursed 50% or $305,750. The improvements include: • 5’ Brick sidewalk and curb/gutter on the northside of York Street from York-PageLafayette to the former motel that was converted to apartments. • 6’ exposed aggregate sidewalk along the Colonial Williamsburg pasture land. • Asphalt multi-use path from Pocahontas Street to Quarterpath Rec Center. • New streetlighting system along the entire corridor. • Landscaping improvements.
