One of the group's first tasks was to hire a $150,000 consultant to oversee a land-use study for the Avon Street Corridor south of the Belmont Bridge. [3] Since then, they have discussed the West Main Streetscape and are in the beginning stages of work on the Rivanna River corridor. [2] They are also the steering committee for the Belmont Bridge replacement.
In November 2013, Council agreed to expand membership to include one member of the Charlottesville Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee. [4]
