Proposed Seaford Road Elevation Project:
The County is working with a design consultant and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to raise a section of road on Route 622 (Seaford Road) from Ellerson Court to Rebecca Drive. The 1-3 foot elevation will include safe street design principles and will prevent the road from excessive flooding during storms and high tides.
If you are unable to attend the public hearing, you may send your comments to Elizabeth.Mertz-Guinn@yorkcounty.gov or call 757-890-3750 by September 3, 2025. If emailing, please reference “Seaford Road Elevation Comment” in the subject line.
Proposed York Connector Sidewalk Project:
The County is working with a design consultant and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on improving and extending the sidewalk from 730 feet North of Cook Road to the main entrance of York High School. The 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk will include storm water management features and safe street design principles. This will promote safe pedestrian mobility, create a new connection to the school, and will improve the pedestrian experience.
