  • City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It's Our Future: a Choice City
    City of Virginia Beach Comprehensive Plan – It’s Our Future: A Choice City November 20, 2018 1.3 - SUBURBAN AREA INTRODUCTION Much of the area located north of the Green Line possesses a suburban land use pattern, meaning the area primarily consists of low- to medium-density residential land use with commercial retail, office, and service uses interspersed throughout the area. This land use pattern is the result of more than a century of the development of communities created by subdividing all or portions of the farms that defined Princess Anne County (now the City of Virginia Beach) since the 17th century. The earliest subdivisions were established in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, located adjacent to the railroad line that connected the City of Norfolk to the Town of Virginia Beach. Since the automobile was largely a novelty during these years, movement outside of the urban core cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth was either via the railroad or a poorly maintained roadway system using horse and wagon. The railroad line offered developers the opportunity to establish communities outside the urban core of Norfolk for those who desired to choose a lifestyle less intense than that of Norfolk. This trend of creating communities outside the urban core cities occurred not only here, but throughout the United States, and England as well. Eventually, the area outside the core urban cities was designated as being ‘suburban.’ Vestiges of the early suburban communities in Virginia Beach can be seen in the existing street layout of Pembroke, south of Virginia Beach Boulevard, which were established as Euclid Place (1910) and Sunny Brook (1916).

These reports can be rather repetitious because they usually announce things that are utterly predictable – for example, that the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) is backed up in both directions. Nor can we really be surprised when we learn once again that there is significant traffic congestion near the I-64 exit for Camp Peary, or that the Midtown Tunnel is experiencing backups extending halfway up the West Norfolk Bridge.W Further, almost ritually we are advised to avoid miscellaneous accidents that may be causing problems on I-264 in Virginia Beach, on the High Rise Bridge in Chesapeake or (perish the thought) either inside or near the Midtown and Downtown tunnels. There are times when our freeways and arterial streets function more like slower rates of population growth and economic expansion (such as those parking lots than free-flowing motorways.
