Fontaine Avenue Widening is the designation for a project to widen Fontaine Avenue to increase access to the University of Virginia's Fontaine Research Park. Originally proposed as a widening to three lanes, the most recent design, from September 2005, includes additional sidewalks and bike lanes and only calls for widening of the two-lane sections at two intersections. The project has been endorsed by the MPO Policy Board in the Transportation Improvement Program[1]. However, the project is currently deferred indefinitely[citation needed].
