Explanation

(This amendment provides $350,000 the first year and $70,000 the second year to fabricate and install Supplemental Guide Signs for Virginia State Parks. The fiscal year 2016-2018 budget included language allowing the use of VDOT Recreational Access Funds to be used to install replacement signage for state parks. Approximately $750,000 was spent upgrading signs for Virginia State Parks and some Natural Area Preserves. The project replaced nearly 200 signs so that now they meet current safety regulations and provide easy to read guidance to Virginia State Parks. Remaining unfunded is a 50 mile long New River Trail State park which alone will cost $270,000. There are additional signs needed with an estimated total cost of $350,000.)
