The City of Richmond invites you to share your thoughts on proposed bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements proposed throughout the City.

The Department of Public Works has identified nine corridors Citywide that present opportunities for enhanced bike and pedestrian infrastructure to be completed during repaving. These projects will enhance our transportation infrastructure and better serve all who use our roadways and support Richmond’s Vision Zero Action Plan using our Better Streets multimodal approach by implementing measures such as high-visibility crosswalks for people who walk, reconfiguring roadways to add space for people who bike, and installing accessible curb ramps for people who roll. Due to public gatherings being limited, we are presenting these proposed design options to the public via an online, virtual community meeting platform beginning on June 11, and running for two weeks through June 25, 2020. Please visit the online forum at the link below to view the design alternatives and submit the survey form to provide your thoughts and preferred designs.
