    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA Abigail Buckley Cronin, Master of Architecture, 2005 Thesis Directed by: Professor Roger K. Lewis School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation American cities have been struggling with suburban sprawl and urban flight for the last fifty years. With rising costs, lengthening commutes, limited resources and shrinking open land, many residents are reconsidering life outside the city. If communities are to reevaluate their settlement patterns and look to new life in the urban center, to what extent can urban design and architecture re-weave and revive a once thriving district on the verge of collapse? Downtown Newport News has witnessed an urban flight, leaving the city abandoned and deteriorating. This thesis will propose to reconnect midtown with the Parkside community to provide public amenity, increased access, and future growth potential, serving as a prototype for development within Newport News and beyond. A variety of housing options will be explored, with the premise that instead of providing only parking for the shipyard, the city should provide housing options, close to work and other amenities that can result from a dynamic urban waterfront community RE-WEAVING THE URBAN FABRIC: A NEW MIDTOWN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA by Abigail Buckley Cronin Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements

Ships, Welcome to Newport News, where the James River ends and vacation memories begin! Legend has it that Newport News was probably named after English sea captain Christopher Newport, whose Contents three-ship fleet landed in Jamestown in 1607. English colonists began settling in what is now Newport News as The Mariners’ Museum early as 1622. Newport News, about 70 square miles in size, has a population of approximately 180,000. The city’s location History, in southeastern Virginia means we’re less than 400 miles from many major U.S. cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. This will be a year of celebrations for Newport News. We’ll be commemorating the 100th anniversary of Historic Hilton Village; Fort Eustis will mark its centennial in 2018; and Pearl Bailey, a Newport News native, would be turning 100 in March if she were alive today. To round out our list of celebrations, Newport News Restaurant Week will observe its fifth year with five price points in celebration of five successful years! Endview Plantation A lot has been happening here in Newport News since last year, and many exciting things are on the horizon!

    ITEM #7: REGIONAL TRANSIT ADVISORY PANEL Robert Crum, HRTPO During the 2020 General Assembly session, the legislature passed House Bill 1726 and Senate Bill 1038 which created the Hampton Roads Regional Transit Fund (HRRTF). As part of this action, the General Assembly included the following provision: “That the Hampton Roads Transportation Planning Organization shall establish a regional transit advisory panel composed of representatives of major business and industry groups, employers, shopping destinations, institutions of higher education, military installations, hospitals, and health care centers, public transit entities, and any other groups identified as necessary to provide ongoing advice to the regional planning process required pursuant to § 33.2-286 of the Code of Virginia on the long-term vision for a multimodal regional public transit network in Hampton Roads.” To address this requirement, the HRTPO staff has worked with Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) staff to develop the attached Membership Roster for the Regional Transit Advisory Panel. This membership roster has been developed to address those sectors required by the Code of Virginia and to also ensure diversity and inclusiveness on this Panel. Mr. Robert Crum, HRTPO Executive Director, will brief the HRTPO Board on this item. Attachment 7 RECOMMENDED ACTION: The HRTPO staff recommends that the HRTPO Board approve the proposed membership roster for the Regional Transit Advisory Panel.
