The City of Richmond Engineers returned to the table recently to discuss changes to their original plan for Forest Hill Avenue. Acknowleding that they received a lot of feedback regarding the design of the bike lanes, the City is now proposing FULL 5' lanes and which will NOT incorporate a gutter as part of the 5 feet.
More information is coming to us soon, but other details include a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour.
The last part of the details that will still need to be advocated for is the completion of these bike lanes up to the Stratford Hills Shopping Center and through the Expressway Interchange. While not expressly part of this plan, the City still needs to address how these bike lanes will make sure cyclist enter and exit this cooridor safely. Right now it appears cyclists will need to re-enter traffic just short of the Shopping Center -- if we can fix this it will be a wonderful advancement in the plans.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE SOON.
