- WHEREAS, the City, County and University believe a unified and cooperative implementation agreement with the CTB and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDoT) is necessary to provide for these improvements in an expeditious and efficient manner;
- NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City, County and University jointly support and request that the CTB and VDoT implement improvements to the 29 North Corridor in the following sequence:

S. 29 North at Hydraulic Road (Rt. 743), Greenbrier Drive (Rt. 866) and Rio Road (Rt. 631) with early acquisition of right-of-way for these interchanges based upon hardship (same program being used for early acquisition for Alternative 10 - Western alignment);
- ◦ Construct an alternate controlled vehicle access for traffic bound for University areas only, including the north grounds from Route 29/250 By-Pass;
- ◦ Complete remainder of CTB Phase II recommendation of November 15, 1990; and
