The purpose of the study is to evaluate the potential to build an extended paved path for pedestrians and bicyclists along Roaring Springs Road from Wyncote Avenue to Beaverdam Park. Currently, VDOT is designing a new sidewalk along the east side of Roaring Springs Road from Main Street to Wyncote Avenue.

The planning study would determine the feasibility and preferred alignment of an approximately two-mile-long proposed path, and costs associated to build a bicycle and pedestrian facility separate from the roadway. An alternative to the shared use path through this segment would have a typical section of a 6-foot wide sidewalk with a shoulder and ditch area of 16 feet from the roadway, and an 8-foot wide boardwalk where needed, with a shoulder and ditch area of 14 feet from the roadway.
