Project Outputs:
The Richmond, Virginia Pedestrian and Bicycle Network Improvement Study provides a detailed set of infrastructure improvement recommendations to enhance bicycle and pedestrian access to and from seven future Bus Rapid Transit stations along a 7.6-mile corridor in Richmond, Virginia.
Project Outcomes/Impact:
Studying the areas around the stations revealed several recurring bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure issues including:
• Curb ramps that are non-compliant with ADA requirements, both in placement and design
• Lack of consistency in type, location and functionality of pedestrian push buttons
• Lack of connectivity to existing regional trails
• Sight lines at intersections obstructed by parked cars
• Sidewalks damaged by tree roots and blocked by permanent obstacles such as utility poles and fire hydrants
