Public hearing on city bike trail plan Nov. 22
11/18/2016, 6:52 a.m.
The city’s Department of Public Works will host a public forum from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, to seek public feedback on the city’s Bicycle Master Plan.
The session will be held at the Richmond Public Library’s Main Library, 101 E. Franklin St.
City residents can get more detailed information on the city’s bicycle proposal by design teams Michael Baker Jr. and Alta Planning and Design, review plans for 10 corridors of bike lanes totaling 25 miles around the city and ask questions about the recommendations.
The city already has completed several projects as part of its effort to ramp up bicycle lanes, including buffered bike lanes along West Leigh Street, the Lee Bridge and the Manchester Bridge. The city and associated designers also have completed construction of the city’s first bike-walk street on Floyd Avenue.
For more information on the bike plan, contact Jakob Helmboldt at (804) 646-7141 or visit www.richmondgov.com/bikeped/.— LAUREN NORTHINGTON
