The City of Virginia Beach aims to enhance safety and accessibility along Lynnhaven Parkway. Specifically, the project will span from I-264 to Lachelle Place.

Congress will not vote on a resolution urging the Trump administration to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein before their August recess.
Trump sues WSJ; Bondi files request to unseal Epstein grand jury recordsWhen asked about this decision, House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters "we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing, and if further congressional action is necessary or appropriate, then we'll look at that." Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna initially proposed a resolution to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days — however, House Republicans voted against this measure, instead offering a resolution that carries no legal weight.
"We should not punt this until after the 5 week recess," wrote Massie on social media. President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to release "any and all pertinent grand jury testimony" related to the case. This came after the Wall Street Journal reported on a lewd letter Trump sent to Epstein in 2003, which resulted in the Rupert Murdoch-owned publication being sued $10 billion for defamation.
