About the Project

Improvements to Wilson Boulevard were identified in the Virginia Square Sector Plan, adopted by the County Board in 2002.

Project elements for all phases include:

• New curb and gutter
• ADA-compliant sidewalks
• Traffic signal improvements
• Carlyle-style streetlights
• Street trees
• Storm sewer upgrades/improvements
• New asphalt paving, signing and markings
