Public Works

The City of Harrisonburg is working on an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Transition Plan to form planning methods and document current accessibility deficiencies, to work to make Harrisonburg public facilities ADA accessible.

The City of Harrisonburg is committed to adding bicycle and pedestrian facilities to new projects and to identifying opportunities to improve the bicycle and pedestrian network within the City.

Roadway reconfigurations have a role to play in the City of Harrisonburg's efforts toward safer roads and a more connected network of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

The Harrisonburg Community Bike Map is a resource to help bicyclists choose routes along city streets and separated paths to get them to school, work, and around the City.

Through collaboration between city government departments, school district and school staff, and community organizations, we will work toward safer streets and school campuses, safe pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist behavior, and a culture that values active transportation.

These maps were utilized in 2023 and served as guides to help parents select a route for their student to walk or bike to school

Bicycle, pedestrian, and motor vehicle safety.

Team Up to Slow Down is a program that partners citizens with city staff to work on slowing down the speeding problems in local neighborhoods.
