The 250 Bypass Commuter Trail is a pedestrian and cyclist route that is being built over many phases that will allow travel next to the U.S. Route 250 Bypass through Charlottesville.

The project is being built in pieces with much of the funding coming from the Virginia Department of Transportation's transportation alternatives program. [1] [2]

Timeline of significant events

  • May 17, 2022 – City Council holds public hearing on purchase a triangular piece of land at the western end of McIntire Park for use by the trail. The land would technically be purchased by the Virginia Outdoor Foundation and transferred over to the city, with the VOF then holding an open space easement on the property. [4]
