A Citizen Information Meeting for CIP 2-117, Shore Drive Phase III will be held on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at John B. Dey Elementary School from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm.  The school is located at 1900 North Great Neck Road in Virginia Beach, VA, 23454. This meeting will be an open forum; no formal presentation will be given.

Shore Drive Phase III begins at Vista Circle, near the eastern end of the Lesner Bridge, and extends eastward through the Great Neck Road intersection and terminates at Croix Drive.  In general, this project will improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow and safety in the roadway and intersections; improve storm drainage; include a multi-use trail and on-street bike lanes; and enhance the corridor with aesthetic elements such as landscaping and lighting.
