Tell VDOT What You Want
VDOT will be hosting a series of public information meetings to get input on their bicycle and pedestrian efforts. Information on that plan can be found here.
The Virginia Department of Transportation will hold three informal meetings in southwestern Virginia to provide information about its bicycle and pedestrian program and allow people interested in bicycling and walking to discuss the program with VDOT representatives.
VDOT’s bicycle and pedestrian program was formed to ensure that bicycling, walking and other modes of nonmotorized transportation receive the same consideration as motorized transportation in the planning, design, construction and operation of Virginia’s transportation network. The meetings to discuss the program will be held in Christiansburg, Salem and Martinsville from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. as follows:
Christiansburg - Thursday, March 13
Montgomery County Government Center
755 Roanoke St., Christiansburg
Salem - Tuesday, March 18
VDOT Salem District Office
731 Harrison Ave., Salem
I will try to be at the Salem meeting. Be there and make your voice heard.
