New River Valley leaders plan for a future of pedestrian and bike-friendly options
Feedback needed for improvement and ideas for the future

On Thursday night, the New River Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization hosted a virtual public comment session.
They took feedback on places and points in the community where bikers, walkers and others feel there could be improvements.
That feedback will be used to help shape the overall regional plan. They also discussed a possible connection in the future between the New River Valley trail network and the Roanoke River Greenway that currently terminates in Western Roanoke County.

ROANOKE, Va. – If you’re on the Roanoke River Greenway, you soon may notice something new.
The city is painting a center line down the middle of the busiest stretch of the greenway to help users avoid accidents, and they’re using federal grant money to do it.
These days most people don’t need many excuses to get outside and enjoy the greenway. Gordon Saylors went for a run Friday night and was thankful to enjoy the mild December night with some space to spread out.
