Project Overview
"Alternative A‐2, 'Rivanna Multi‐Use Trail', is intended to reduce congestion by providing an alternative means for people to reach Charlottesville from the Pantops and other points east of the Rivanna River. This alternative would include the construction of a new Park & Ride lot at VDOT’s facility at Shadwell. Persons wishing to enter the city could then do so via a new hard surface trail that would run between the railroad tracks and the river. The trail would then cross the Rivanna River on a bike/pedestrian bridge at Riverview Park."
