Public Meeting Wednesday to Detail Main and Franklin Streets Separated Bike Lane Project
From City press release:
Public Meeting to Detail Main and Franklin Streets
Separated Bike Lane Project
~Community meeting scheduled to obtain resident input ~Richmond, VA – The initial design details for the proposed Separated Bike Lane Project, also known as a Cycle Track, will be available at a public informational meeting next week. The bike lanes start at Ninth Street on both Main and Franklin streets and end at Laurel Street. A separated bike lane is a path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane however, it is physically separated from motor traffic and distinct from the sidewalk.
The meeting to review the plans will be on Wednesday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m. at the Richmond Main Library, 101 East Franklin Street. Residents are invited to attend this meeting to learn more about the project, the roadway analysis and to review the designs as well as provide feedback and recommendations.
The City’s Department of Public Works and Department of Planning and Development Review will be joined by VHB, the consultant, to address questions and concerns during the community meeting.
This project was first proposed in the Strategic Multimodal Transportation Plan known as Richmond Connects and it was also included in the Bike Master Plan. Federal funds will cover 80% of the project’s $300,000 cost with the city providing $60,000 in funding.
Once completed, this cycle track will provide a continuous east/west route along with a connection to the Floyd Avenue Bike Boulevard.
