Study Purpose

The study area includes Route 29 Business (Piney Forest Road) from Davis Drive to Nelson Avenue/Nor Dan Drive and from Beavers Mill Road/Wendell Scott Drive to Coleman Market Place in the City of Danville. The purpose of the study is to improve safety, access, and operations. The focus is on:

• Improving safety,
• Reducing traffic congestion,
• Improving access for cyclists and transit riders,
• Providing safe bike and walking routes, and
• Enhancing commuting options (such as carpool, vanpool, Park and Ride, or transit programs that could reduce solo driving).

The study will assess short-term, mid-term, and long-term challenges and opportunities and will identify project recommendations that can be advanced for future local, state, and federal funding opportunities. The study will not set construction dates for any of the alternatives.
