PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Cape Henry Lighthouse (original) Restoration LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (Atlantic Avenue north of 8 9th Street, Fort Story [ U. S. Army] , Cape Henry) EXISTING CONDITIONS: The original and existing cape Henry Lighthouse was put into operation in 1792 and is the first public works project funded by the first United States Congress, The lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is owned by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA) . It is located within Fort Story U.S. Army Base and is open to the public. A signed bike route runs in front of the lighthouse, providing connections to resort areas and Seashore State Park. Located nearby are: a second lighthouse, built in 1881, the Cape Henry Cross which commemorates the first English landing in the New World and a memorial/observation area overlooking the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay where a French naval fleet defeated the British in support of the troops at Yorktown. In 1991 the VAPVA commissioned a study to evaluate the condition of the foundation and masonry of the lighthouse; this study recommended a program of adaptive restoration to halt deterioration and to...preserve the lighthouse. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: This project would plan and implement a program of adaptive restoration of the Cape Henry Lighthouse, the first lighthouse authorized, fully completed and lighted by the newly organized federal government (1792). Restoration would include repair and maintenance of the structure as well as improvements necessary to make the lighthouse more accessible to the public. This project proposal was developed to secure funds which would provide the VAPVA with means to carryout their restoration program for this important structure. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Cape Henry Lighthouse (Original) Restoration LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (Atlantic Avenue north of 89th Street, Fort Story [U.S. Army], Cape Henry) The 1792 Cape Henry Lighthouse is the first federally funded public works project authorized by the United States government; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse is a local landmark and appears on the official seal of the City of Virginia Beach as one of the -'landmarks of our n,ti,n's beginning". For nearly a century, the lighthouse provided a light at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads and played a key role in the early transportation history of our natic)n. The proposed restoration project would provide a unique opportunity for the public to experience one of our nation's first transportation related projects. A restored and more accessible lighthouse would serve as a focal point for the array of surrounding attractions that are present at this location (newer [1881] lighthouse, cape Henry Cross, Battle of the Capes memorial) . Restoration would enhance the attractiveness of these sites and offer an enlightening and varied educational experience thereby adding appeal for tourists and residents and resulting in greater visitation. The lighthouse is easily accessible by either automobile or bicycle and provides an opportunity for people to experience an alternative mode of transportati,:)n.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - (Attachnent to application) TITLE: Arts Center/Oceanfront Connector Trail LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (south of Laskin Road, west of Holly Road, east of Barberton Drive, north of VA Route 44) EXISTING CONDITIONS: There is an on-going effort to improve and expand the tourist based sector of the local economy. Improvements have been made to the core resort district and now the focus is shifting to make complimentary improvements in the surrounding areas. The Holly Road corridor, between Laskin Road and Route 44 is one of the surrounding areas that would benefit from enhancements. Several tourist-related activity centers are located in this specific area: oceanfront beach, Laskin commercial corridor, Beach Garden Park, Center for the Arts, Pavilion. The existing street system does not provide adequate bicycle/pedestrian facilities to link these areas. A natural drainage system courses through or near many of these sites. The opportunity exists to create a linear park that not only connects these various attractions through a trail system but creates a trail setting that represents a microcosm of Virginia Beach's water environment. This project is included in the City's Capital Improvement Program; funding of a preliminary study has taken place but no construction funds are available until after 1999. The majority of the land required for this project i.s city owned. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: This project would plan, design, and construct a pedestrian/bicycle trail along the existing salt-marsh environment. There is an opportunity to retain the natural state of the existing salt marsh system and to develop an integrated and well-planned open space system. This project will give tourists and residents the alternative of walking or riding bicycles in a safe and attractive environment to enjoy the cultural and recreational amenities of the resort area. The pedestrian/bicycle trail would link into the recently reconstructed resort strip which includes a bike path and a more pedestrian-friendly orientation. PROPOSED FACILITIES: A pedestrian/bicycle trail (10 feet in width) constructed of varying surfaces (asphalt, concrete, wooden boardwalk) is the main element of this project. At least one bridge would be required. Trail elements would be designed to be sensitive to, and complementary of, the existing salt marsh environment and the existing inan-made environments (Pavilion, Center for the Arts, Beach Garden Park). Tnterpretive signage for environmental and historical features would be included. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachnent to application) TITLE: Arts Center/Oceanfront Connector Trail LOCATION: city of virginia Beach (south of Laskin Road, west of Holly Road, east of Barberton Drive, north of VA Route 44) This project offers the opportunity to provide a safe and scenic route for residents and tourists to travel between the well-known oceanfront attractions and the many new attractions that have been created and are continuing to be developed in the areas that can be described as the western edge of the traditional "resort strip". Included in these newer developments are: the Pavilion Convention Center, Center for the Arts and the Beach Garden Park. The proposed route would take advantage of public land at these individual sites and various drainageways, thereby providing not only a safe and scenic trail linking various attractions but also creating a unique way to experience a natural salt marsh environment. The trail would not only be a link between numerous attractions but would be an attraction in itself, providing a means for people to experience and learn about the local marine environment. This Connector Trail would become a part of the larger intermodal system-of transport that is evolving in the resort area. This system includes bikeways, enhanced pedestrian walks and trolley service. The Connector Trail will integrate the established resort strip with the emerging resort oriented areas on the western edge of the resort area thereby creating a greater and more diverse base of attractions for our visitors. It will perform that function in an environmentally sensitive and interesting manner that will enhance the character of this tourist destination. At its northern end, the trail will connect with other existing trails that provide access to the citywide bicycle/pedestrian system. At its southern end the trail will connect with other planned trails that provide similar system access. This trail will also serve as a convenient alternative mode of travel for residents of the area who rely on the Laskin Road commercial area for th(,ir shopping needs.

In addition to the residential and commercial uses there are many attractions that are served by Shore Drive including: Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean beaches, Seashore State Park, Bayville City Park and Recreation Center, public and private marinas. Because of these attractions Shore Dive is becoming an increasingly popular route for cyclists. Although Lesner Bridge has walkways for pedestrians, these are not suitable for safe bicycle transit. The lack of a safe bicycle/pedestrian c:rossing on this bridge represents a gap in the existing and planneci trail system. Northampton Boulevai-d, east of Diamond Springs Road does not have any facilities for pedestrians/bicyclists. Residents in the western part of the Bayside area do not have pedestrian/bicycle access to recreation centers or parks. There is a bikeway along Diamond Springs Roa(i that is not connected to the city's bikeway system. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: This project would plan, design, and construct a safe bicycle/pedestrian trail along Shore Drive and Northampton Boulevard linking Bayside to the city's bikeway system and providing access to recreational areas in Bayville, Great Neck, Lynnhaven and the oceanfront. The right-of-way to be used is either owned by the City of Virginia Beach or Virginia Power, with a considerable portion previously a railroad right-of-way owned by Norfolk-Southern. The portion of the trail between Great Neck Road and Diamond Springs Road would provide two rest areas and interpretive signage related to the environment and the history of the railroad spur which connected Burton Station with the old Kiptopeke Ferry teiminal at Little Creek and continued to the oceanfront. PROPOSED FACILITIES: A bicycle/pedestrian trail and a bridge across the Lynnhaveii Inlet are the main elements of this project. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Shore Drive/Northampton Trail LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (Shore Drive (U.S. Route 60) between West Great Neck Road and Northampton Boulevard and Northampton Boulevard (U.S. Route 13] between Shore Drive and Diamond Springs Road) This proposed project would provide a safe pedestrian/bicycle crossing across the Lesner Bridge and provide bikeway connection between the existing city bikeway system and the northeastern portion of the city. This connection would provide pedestrian and bicycle access between Bayside and the major recreation areas of Bayville Park and Bayside Community Recreation Center in addition to the natural/resort areas near Lynnhaven Inlet, Lynnhaven City Marina, Seashore State Park and the oceanfront. This project would greatly benefit east-west travel in the northern portion of the city and close a major gap in the curre@nt trail system. 1'r,)ject SHORE DRI, VE/NORT@IPTON TRAIL :@o,--ation: VIRGINIA BEACH Commonwealth of Virginia TRANSPORTATION ancement P R 0 G R A M APPLICATION FORM FOR CANDIDATE PROJECT 1.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - (Attachment to application) TITLE: North Landing Trail LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (southern and eastern side of North Landing Road [State Route 165) from Chesapeake City Line to Pungo-Park Connector Trail (Princess Anne Road]). EXISTING CONDITIONS: The project site is the area adjacent to an existing two-lane rural roadway. The roadway passes through a landscape that varies between cultivated farmland and forest. Some road segments have either scattered single or grouped residential units along the roadway. Adjacent to the North Landing River, there are some limit.ed wetland areas that will need to be crossed. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: Design and construct a pedestrian/bicycle trail facility along a two-lane rural roadway. PROPOSED FACILITIES: An asphalt surfaced pedestrian/bicycle trail (10 feet wide/4 miles in length) is the main element of this project. A raised wooden boardwalk may be required over wetland areas. At scenic locations appropriate landscaping and restorative planting of native and adaptive species would be accomplished as well ar,. interpretive signage related to the ecology and history of the area. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachment to application) TITLE: North Landing Trail LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (southern and eastern side of North Landing Road [State Route 165] from Chesapeake City Line to Pungo-Park Connector Trail [Princess Anne Road)). This project offers the opportunity to link the Pungo Connector Trail (approved as a STP/Enhancement project in 1993) with a trail corrdior through a scenic and environmentally significant portion of Virginia Beach. The proposed trail also offers an inter- regional connection through the extension of the North Landing Trail past the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach Corporate Boundary along Mount Pleasant Road into Chesapeake toward Great Bridge. The Chesapeake portion of the trail would provide excellent environmental interpretation opportunities because of the extensive wetlands adjacent to Mount Pleasant Road. A raised boardwalk trail would likely be needed in this location. Together, the trail has the potential of eventually linking Great Bridge, in Chesapeake, with the Princess Anne/Courthouse area, in Virginia Beach, at the Pungo Connector Trail (which provides access to the Virginia Beach Trail Network). This new trail would provide an alternative means of transportation through this area and further link the suburban portion of the city to its more rural half. Bicycle/pedestrian access to the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, Tidewater Community College, the Farmer's Market, Kellam High School, and Princess Anne Park would be available to a wider segment of the community. The new trail would provide the opportunity to observe a portion of the North Landing River environment, which is also a part of the Virginia Beach Scenic Waterway System, the first locally-developed comprehensive water trail system in the Commonwealth. Interpretive signs would provide environmental information about the habitat and historical information concerning the @areas along the corridor.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Pungo Ferry Road/North Landing River Preserve Public Access Site LOCATION: City of virginia Beach (North Landing River at Pungo Ferry Road) EXISTING CONDITIONS: A new fixed-span high-rise Pungo Ferry Bridge was built in 1992 replacing an old swing span structure. The old right-of-way and roadway segment leading to the former bridge remain in place. These areas, together with an adjacent parcel, provide an opportunity to create a public access point to the river. The North Landing River is a State designated Scenic River and The North Landing River Preserve (owned by the Commonwealth) is nearby and lacks access points. Some phragmites invasion has occurred with the bridge construction. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: This project would acquire, plan, design, and construct a public access site on the North Landing River. The project would include a parking area and a pier for canoe launching. A phragmites control/eradication demonstration program as well;.as ecological, and historical education elements would also be included. PROPOSED FACILITIES: A small pier for launr-hing canoes and a parking area to accommodate 30 cars are the main elements of this project. Interpretive signage relating to the river ecosystem and local history is also a component. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Pungo Ferry Road/North Landing River Preserve Public Access Site LOCATION: City of Virginia Beach (North Landing River at Pungo Ferry Road) This project offers the opportunity to increase public access to the North Landing River which has been designated a scenic waterway by the City of Virginia Beach and a scenic river by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Improving access to the waterway system is a recommendation of the Virginia Beach Scenic Waterway Plan prepared by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission. The proposed facilities would provide for safe launching of canoes and other small craft.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Norfolk-Southern Railroad Trail/Kempsville Spur LOCATION: City of virginia Beach (south of Virginia Beach Boulevard and extending from Newtown Road on the west to Pacific Avenue on the east) EXISTING CONDITIONS: This 661 wide railroad right-of-way traverses the entire east-west width of the city (an easement agreement would need to be negotiated). In the past, this stretch of track served as a commuter passenger line connecting the oceanfront to the city of Norfolk; today, it is used, on an infrequent basis, to carry freight. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES: Design and construct a pedestrian/bicycle trail facility along this railroad right-of-way. PROPOSED FACILITIES: An asphalt surfaced pedestrian/bicycle trail (10 feet wide/12 miles in length) is the main element of the project. Modification of existing train trestles or new bridge structures would be necessary to provide safe crossings over water bodies. 10. BENEFITS - (Attachment to application) TITLE: Norfolk-Southern Railroad Trail/Kempsville Spur LOCATION: city of virginia Beach (south of Virginia Beach Boulevard and extending from Newtown Road on the west to Pacific Avenue on the east) This project would provide the opportunity to enhance the usefulness of one transportation mode (railroad) by instituting bicycle/pedestrian co-use of the railroad right-of-way. The rail line is located within the Route 44/Virginia Beach Boulevard corridor, the most congested and commercialized corridor in the city. This high concentration of commercial development (office, retail and light industrial) combined with the proximity of large numbers of residential dwellings indicates a strong potential for commuter usage of this bike trail. Intermixed with the multitude of individual commercial uses that comprise this corridor are many destinations of regional importance, including: the Koger Center/Greenwich Road office parks, Cleveland Street office park, Pembroke office/retail area, Virginia Beach Central Library, old Dominion University/Norfolk State University Graduate Center, Human Services Building (Health Department) , and Hilltop retail area. This trail would provide a travel alternative for bicyclists and pedestrians through the center of the city, would provide access to all these varied destinations, and would connect to Norfolk and the oceanfront. This trail provides vital east-west connectivity for existing north-south trails located along: Witchduck Road, Little Neck Road, Great Neck Road and Oceana Boulevard; also for proposed north-south trails along London Bridge Road and Birdneck Road. This trail would be attractive to both the recreational and commuter bicyclist as it provides access not only to scenic areas but also to employment locations. This trail is included in the City of Virginia Beach's Master Bikeway Plan and in the Regional Bikeway Facilities Plan pret)ared by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission.
