Wards Corner Civic League

The city is holding a public forum at the Lambert’s Point Community Center at 1251 W 42nd St Clubhouse at 4301 Powhatan Ave on Wednesday, August 9th July 19th from 6pm-8pm (parking is available) to discuss what should be done with this property. There are several interested parties who are expected to attend to voice their opinion.

Some concerned citizens in Norfolk have formed a committee to explore the possibility of a new park at Lambert’s Point where the old golf course existed. A large portion of the property has been sold to HRSD for a SWIFT water treatment plant but 20 acres remain that have not yet been spoken for. This committee is proposing that this acreage become a park along the Elizabeth River with cool breezes and water views. There are preexisting walkways that wind around the property that could be used for walkers, joggers and bike riders. They envision a wonderful venue for concerts, picnics, etc. This committee reached out to our civic league to share their vision and a petition that they have started for like-minded individuals: https://chng.it/X5WXYP5x. (This is for information purposes only; our civic league has not taken any vote or official stance on the matter as of this posting.)

The Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization (HRTPO) is responsible for assessing and planning the transportation needs of the Hampton Roads region. They are currently working on updating the region’s Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), a blueprint that will guide transportation investments through the year 2050. The HRTPO aims to support transportation projects that reduce congestion, improve accessibility – especially for underserved communities – address regionally significant concerns, and advance our region.

Your input will directly influence the transportation planning process for Hampton Roads!  When planning, it is important to gather feedback from those who live, work, and play in the Hampton Roads region. This is how the agency can identify, plan for, and meet the needs of Hampton Roads. They believe that effective transportation planning reflects a wide range of input from our Hampton Roads residents. The HRTPO would love for your organization to participate in the current 2050 LRTP planning process and have created a public survey to gather input on influences, or “drivers of change,” that can impact how, where, and why we travel in the future. This survey will be active from July 1 through August 15, 2023.
