Project Description
This proposal is to extend the shared-use path proposed by the ABC development to the north and south to create a continuous facility on the west side of 5th St/Old Lynchburg Rd from Ambrose Commons to Afton Pond Ct (Stagecoach Rd). A two-stage pedestrian crossing at Hickory St is being explored. The project would include a road diet (single lane for each travel direction and a center turn lane) from the previously funded roundabout at the Old Lynchburg/5th Street/County Office Building intersection to Ambrose commons. ย This project was identified in the 5th Street STARS Study and the Jefferson Area Bike and Pedestrian Plan.
