~ Online survey available July 25 – August 11 ~

RICHMOND, Va. – The Department of Public Works (DPW) has identified six corridors that present opportunities for enhanced bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to be completed as part of the City’s paving and resurfacing program for summer 2021 through summer 2022. City residents will have an opportunity to review the proposed detailed design and provide feedback for bike lanes designated along six corridors throughout the city. The six corridors under consideration are:  

• Brookland Parkway  
• Colorado Avenue
• Grove Avenue
• Marshall Street
• Walmsley Boulevard
• Warwick Road

To review the project materials and comment on the detailed design for each corridor, which will help finalize the design before moving forward with construction, please go to: https://www.rva.gov/public-works/pedestrian-bicycling-and-trails and complete the survey. The survey will be online from Sunday, July 25 through Wednesday, August 11.

These bike lane projects will enhance our transportation infrastructure and improve safety for all roadway users. They are an important part of the City’s commitment to Vision Zero and support the Better Streets multimodal approach by implementing safety improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks for people who walk, accessible curb ramps for people who roll, and dedicated space for people to bike or scoot.

For more project details or if you need assistance with alternative means to review and comment, contact Emily Dalphy at 804-646-0346 or Emily.Dalphy@rva.gov
