The Town of Blacksburg recently completed a connectivity study to identify ways to expand non-vehicular transportation infrastructure in the Toms Creek Basin, such as trails, sidewalks, and bike lanes.
As part of this study, an online survey was conducted to gather input on preferred activities, transportation modes, and priority areas to address.
The study looked at current site conditions, existing bike and pedestrian factors, future traffic projections, and more. It identified high-priority areas for infrastructure improvements and outlined specific projects to address these areas over the next five years. Additionally, the study further identified additional sites within the study area to be slated for future infrastructure improvements within five –20 years, and beyond 20 years.
These findings are being integrated into the larger Toms Creek Basin Planning Study, and priority projects will be considered as part of the Town’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) process.
