Biking and Walking

The project realigns University Blvd between the old convocation center parking lot and Forest Hill Road at the Oak Hill Drive intersection.

This study evaluated the traffic impacts of modifying the downtown transportation network, which will inform the City's future Downtown Master Planning process. Using traffic software models, consultants and the study team analyzed three different scenarios.

South Main Street (Route 11) is a major arterial route with observed operational issues at the intersection of Erickson Avenue/Stone Spring Road, which has several major left turning movements, as well as existing safety concerns on the corridor extending to the south.

This project extends Grace Street through the JMU campus to connect with Bluestone Drive.

This project includes the enhancement of Park Road with aesthetic and safety features through the Eastern Mennonite University campus to create a safer and more attractive environment for pedestrians in this high pedestrian volume area.

This project reallocates space on Federal Street, between Elizabeth Street and Market Street, to construct a shared use path that people bicycling and walking can use as an alternative to Liberty Street, Main Street, and Mason Street, where there are no separate facilities for bicycles.

The study addresses operational and safety issues at multiple intersections along the Port Republic Road corridor between South Main Street and Devon Lane.

Creating plans and conducting studies ensures that transportation projects and operational improvements are completed to facilitate safe and efficient travel within the City.
