From Lee Highway (Route 11) to Tyler Avenue (Route 177)
The purpose of this study is to identify project recommendations for the E. Main Street (Route 11) corridor within the City of Radford. This study will focus on improving roadway and pedestrian safety, multimodal accessibility/connectivity (bicyclist, pedestrian, and transit), and transportation demand management (TDM) needs. The project recommendations from this study may be developed into funding applications for SMART SCALE Round 7 and other transportation funding programs.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation needs on E. Main Street (Route 11) between Lee Highway (Route 11) and Tyler Avenue (Route 177) was completed in June. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
