Transportation and the Albemarle Board meeting - 5 April 2023

Thanks to Charlottesville Community Engagement for reminding me about this week’s Albemarle County Board of Supervisors meeting.

I haven’t done a deep dive into the agenda, which you can find here, but have gone through and pulled out relevant-to-Crozet items.

From the 5 April agenda

Looks like they are intending to pave some gravel roads.
