One of the group's first tasks was to help select a $150,000 consultant to oversee a land-use study for the Avon Street Corridor south of the Belmont Bridge. [4] This would later become the Strategic Investmenr Area.

Inital focus was also on the West Main Streetscape as well as the Rivanna River corridor. [3] They were also for a time 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. [5]
