The RAMPO funded
planning, design, and community outreach for
the development of
the
Floyd Avenue Bicycle Boulevard. This
revolutionary project will significantly
enhance the Richmond Region’s biking
infrastructure by converting
2.25 miles of
Floyd Avenue into a preferred route
optimized for bicycle traffic.
The RAMPO also
provided funding to
build a sidewalk connecting a gap in the
transportation network linking
neighborhoods, schools, churches, and a
community center in the Smoketree Drive area
of Chesterfield County.
