I-81 Exit 150 Update

From Dave Harrison of Roanoke’s BRBC:

In response to comments from cyclists, VDOT has agreed to meet with the Roanoke Valley-Alleghany Regional Commission’s Bicycle Advisory Committee to discuss how the I-81 exit 150 redesign project may include improved bicycle accommodations. It is anticipated that meeting will occur within the next couple of weeks. Thank you to those who submitted comments. They made a difference.

Indeed, thanks to everyone who wrote with their concerns, and to Adventure Cycling and the Bikeleague for their support. We look forward to working with VDOT to resolve this issue.
