Committee hears VDOT roundabout plans; county would fund pedestrian trail later
Members said VDOT will grade a 20-foot corridor and secure easements for a future trail near several proposed roundabouts, but the county would need to fund construction; design bids are due in October and construction could finish by 2031.
The full story
The Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee heard a staff recap of a VDOT public meeting about five proposed roundabouts, with particular interest in locations near Clevengers and the Calvin/Route 229 area. Andrew summarized that about 45 people attended the VDOT session and said the current concept did not provide pedestrian access; VDOT has committed to grade a 20-foot swath and secure right-of-way or easements so the county can build a trail when it chooses to do so.
