ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) – Roanoke County has announced it is holding community discussions on possibly connecting the Roanoke City and Blue Ridge Parkway sections of the Greenway.
There are multiple open-house style meetings scheduled, and the public is invited to review and give comments on connecting the two Greenway routes between Roanoke and the newly constructed segment near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The first two meetings are scheduled for:
- February 5, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Charles R. Hill Community Center, 820 Washington Avenue, Vinton.
- February 10, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Mount Pleasant Elementary School, 3216 Mount Pleasant Boulevard, Roanoke.
In the event of inclement weather, an alternate date has been set aside for February 19, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Charles R. Hill Community Center.
An online survey is available for community feedback on the potential routes until February 28. Visit the project webpage at www.RoanokeCountyVA.gov/ERRGGap to view the map, access the survey, and find additional information.
There is a second round of meetings scheduled during the summer to review and comment on the potential routes chosen for additional study.
